he'd had his little war the election had been won
his list of things to do well and truly done
the dead had been buried ceremonially out of sight
their dependents awarded their modern widow's mite
the scarred and the wounded quickly filed away
ready for parading come next remembrance day
his problems as leader over almost before they'd begun
and things were looking up for his offshore pension fund
it was hell being the leader but sure as certain he knew it
when push came to shove he was the one to do it
