Supervising Elections in an Underdeveloped Nation

 

It well may be that civilized nations

Will send us soldiers to patrol our rubbled streets

And at each poll post tanks and squads of men

To ensure that our elections are fair

 

Their soldiers will pat our children on their heads

And give them chocolate bars and chewing gum

While practicing their Americanese from little books:

“Where is please coffee shop thank you we are friends”

 

And propping up each mayor and governor here

A sturdy German, Pole, or Czech will stand

                                                                   (and sneer)
