CHAPTER 11 There is a weapon called the pen,
2 Which used to be amightier than the sword,
3 Until it ran out of bink,
4 And lost its cpoint,
5 And dretired to an empty life.
6 We found it where you left it,
7 And picked it off the ground.
8 We stropped it to a razor's edge:
9 Now we're armed and making plans.
CHAPTER 21 There is a weapon called ridicule,
2 eWhich once was used to deflate pretense,
3 And haul the absurd to earth.
4 Then the fpretenders made life the fool,
5 And they ridiculed plain gcommon sense,
6 To defend the pose that hearth was absurd,

3 Till courage got qdrowned in a tidal wave,
4 Made of rterrors and strials and ttears.
5 But then there were punks,
6 Who tried mouth-to-mouth,
7 And courage stood up and took stock.
8 We're no longer afraid,
9 Of you or your ubrains,
10 Or the vwisdom that yellowed your back
CHAPTER 51 There is a weapon called frontal attack,
2 Which used to turn mice into wmen,
3 xUntil the day that all men were mice,
4 With ynone left to lead the charge.
5 But then there were rats,
6 Who called themselves punks,
