"Peace Proposal", by Shel Silverstein

Said General Clay to General Gore

really must we fight this silly war

    To kill and die in such a bore

I quite agree said General Gore

    Said General Gore to General Clay

we could go to the beach today

    And have some ice cream on the way

a grand idea said General Clay

    Said General Clay to General Gore

we’ll build sand castles on the shore

    Said General Gore we’ll splash and play

let’s leave right now said General Clay

    Said General Gore to General Clay

but what if the sea’s closed today

    And what if the sand’s been blown away

the dreadful thought said General Clay

    Said General Gore to General Clay

I’ve always feared the ocean’s spray

    And we may drown it’s true we may

it chills my blood said General Clay

    Said General Clay to General Gore

my bathin’ suit is slightly tore

    We better go on with our war

I quite agree said General Gore

    Then General Clay charged General Gor

 as bullets flew and cannons roared

    And now at last there is no more

of General Clay or General Gore

“Our opponents join with warmongers and neocons to wage endless wars, 

these wars that never end.” 

“I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.” 

 [I will] turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars.”
