Galtieri took the Unionjack
:25:09
And Maggie over lunch one day
:25:13
Took a cruiser with all hands
:25:18
Apparently
to make him give it back
:25:29
Maggie, what have you done
:25:40
They disembarked in '45
:25:45
And no one spoke
And no one smiled
:25:49
There were too many spaces
in the line
:25:57
And gathered at the cenotaph
:26:03
They all agreed
with hand on heart
:26:07
To sheath the sacrifiicial knives
:26:13
But now
:26:15
She stands upon Southampton Dock
:26:20
With her handkerchief
and her summer frock
:26:25
Clings to her wet body
in the rain
:26:34
In quiet desperation
:26:37
Knuckles white
upon the slippery reins
:26:42
She bravely waves
the boys good-bye again
:26:54
Maggie what have you done
