The Penknife of
Destiny
The Romans won with gladius and pilum
(Though after battle they had to file ‘em)
The ancient Samurai were pleased to lop
Their enemies, beginning at the top
And in the West, King Arthur’s noble
knights
Bore steel that gave the wicked paynim
frights
And later, Robin Hood, with bow and arrow,
Taught villains about the straight and
narrow
As did brave Henry at old Agincourt --
The French thought archery quite a foul
sport
The sons of desert scenes waved sword and
lance
(But surely all that sand gave ’em scratchy
pants)
And now Great Men boast glowing, pulsing
nukes
In lieu of carefully worded rebukes
Mad leaders with bombs, a threat to all
life --
They disapprove of your Swiss Army Knife
