                     Pam from The Office Goes to War

A young woman drills with a wooden rifle
She looks like Pam Beesly from The Office
An old man checks his antique shotgun’s breech
He looks like Grandpa going out for rabbits

The Ukraine is preparing for war

In a bunker a young man cuddles a cat
He looks like he should be driving a truck
An old woman practices field medicine
She looks like she’s done this before

The Ukraine is preparing for war

They all may die under Russian tank treads
Their government will watch on television

(For that’s how our leaders prepare for war)
