The Surge of the Wank Brigade

By Alfred Lord Lieberman

Half a year half a year,
Half a year onward,
All in the valley of Death
Let's watch "The 300":
'Forward, the Wank Brigade!
Charge for the blogs' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Let's watch "The 300".

'Forward, the Wank Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs lets others do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Let's watch "The 300".

Sunni to right of them,
Shiia to left of them,
Car bombs in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they stayed and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Man we love "The 300".

Flash'd all their smart bombs bare,
Legs and arms turn'd in air
Killings the kids hid there,
Surging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' till budget broke;
Don't ask & Don't tell
Reel'd from the cheering-mob,
Shatter'd & sunder'd.
Then they came back, or not
Awesome "The 300".

Sunni to right of them,
Shiia to left of them,
Belt bomb in front of them
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they stayed and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Stay there at mouth of Hell,
All that is left of them,
We watched "The 300".

When can their glory fade?
O the wild Surge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the Surge they made!
But fuck the Wank Brigade,
Watching "The 300"!
