Said General Clay to General Gore really must we fight this silly war <br />To kill and die in such a bore I quite agree said General Gore <br />Said General Gore to General Clay we could go to the beach today <br />And have some icecream on the way a grand idea said General Clay <br />Said General Clay to General Gore we'll build sand castles on the shore <br />Said General Gore we'll splash and play let's leave right now said General Clay <br />Said General Gore to General Clay but what if the sea's closed today <br />And what if the sand's been blown away the dreadful thought said General Clay <br />Said General Gore to General Clay I've always feared the ocean's spray <br />And we may drown it's true we may it chills my blood said General Clay <br />Said General Clay to General Gore my bathin' suit is slightly tore <br />We better go on with our war I quite agree said General Gore <br />The General Clay chanrged General Gore as bullets flew and cannons roared <br />And now at last there is no more of General Clay or General Gore<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-proposal/
