Company, HALT! Preseeeeeent . . . VERSE!

. . . er, yes. +scrambles away to write "poetry is not a military endeavour" seventy-eight times on the board+

I would like to secede from the Union--
I'm sorry to say, but it's true;
I've had far too much of these patriot games
So I'm bidding the Union adieu.

I would like to secede from the Union;
It will only be I, so don't fret!
I shan't raise a flag with Confederate stars
And I shan't bear a proud bayonet.

I would like to secede from the Union
And form a new country out back,
Where I can determine my governing aims
And then give federation a crack.

I would like to secede from the Union;
I promise, I won't take much space!
I'll just commandeer this old house and this yard,
And I'll make it my federal place.

I would like to secede from the Union
And here form a nation of one--
And here I shan't bomb or invade or pollute,
And at last, I shall get something done!
