Macc Ladds vs the Poets.

25,000 anti-war poems versus one quatrain by some northern (English) lads. Do you wanna guess who comes out on top?

Saddam Hooosein [sic]
He lives in fear
Of real men who can hold their beer...
The lads are on their way
With bayonets and tommy guns
And bellies full of Boddingtons.

Better yet for the Macc Ladds (who last I heard, were no more), it was written for the last go-round with Iraq. I have to tell you I am impressed that the DT was able to find this many words from the boys with no swearing. What a year, first we hear the late Joe Strummer read the Telegraph and now we see the Macc Ladds quoted therein.
