All the King's Men Couldn't...



All the King's Men Couldn't...

Duck.  Duck.  Goose.
Children on the loose.
Memories of innocence.
Duck.  Duck.  Goose.

A little game of tag.
All seems very nice.
A little game of chance.
Three blind mice.

Little Jack Coroner
inspects a pumpkin pie.
The lab results: carcinogens.
Jump.  Skip.  Die.

Duck.  Duck.  Goose.
Chemicals on the loose.
Put them in our food supply.
Tighten up the noose.

A little game of tag.
Mass produced for all.
A little game of chance.
Humpty Dumpty on the wall.

and all the king’s horses

and all the king’s men couldn’t…
