Stupid Stuff

[Terrance]

i sing of Stupid slow and sad
whose heart when warmest recoiled at war:
a conscientious object/subject-or
and his well worn colonel Corn
who took Stupid to the noncom's shed
first knocking Stupid in his head
next handing him a toilet brush
Stupid was always lastest
at obstacles and mess
he mumbled and bumbled and fumbled
cursed Corn and the shed
and called the president a fascist
Stupid had a son
Stupid  II
slow and sad
Stupid II died a straight away marine
from bug repellent and injections 
in the desert at dawn
on a stupid day
in a stupid war 
he was buried smartly, slow and sad
in Riverhead
