First Strike Barb’d hornets flew all over Ohau In lethal waves honing in on the kill Too slowly the realisation grew “We are being attack’d! This is no drill!” Amidst the hell That burnt at Hitcham Field A Yankee gave a yell, Browning rifle his shield. This all‐American hero While pals hugg’d nearby ditches, Spread lead fed with dealy gung=ho “Ya yella sons of bitches!” A cracking shot plunged some zero Into football pitches, Crash landing & smashing into a post, “God damn! That slant‐eyed mother fuckers toast!” The morningʹs destruction over, No more death left to spread, In good order an attacker Atop the white wave sped, Leaving Hawaii belching smoke & Hirohitoʹs dead. The Pacific Ocean December 7th 1941 9.30 am America Goes to War A veil of snow covers the capitol But for the wide flow of the Potomac, A pageant of the pleasantly peaceful, Oblivious to perfidy’s attack; Rooseveldt dines Within those Whitehouse walls, To eerieness resigns as his telephone calls. The news tickers were read out loud, What words to be receiving, Great shock electrifies the crowd With jaws dropt disbelieving, A single tear slips sad & proud, Portent of her grieving, Leaving his bag on the roof of the car Carlton raced off to tell the news to Ma. His tongue babbles back at the farm, At last she gets the gist, ʺDon’t join the army, boy, stay calm,ʺ ʺBut Ma, I must enlist!ʺ She tried to soothe him with soft hands, but stroked a firmclench’d fist Jerkwater December 7th 1941
Winston Chuchill Face sighing stern, lips draining brandy glass, Marlborough’s blood congealing for the fight, Deprest with this present unpleasantness, No way to win the war in mortal sight; Stuff’d from dinner, Half‐cock’d cheeks all aglow, He orders the butler to fetch a radio… Canto II The further rise of the <strong>Axis</strong> powers on three continents “… attackʹd the Hawaiian islands…” Splash & splurt, out burst his drink, Dark clouds throttling his ambitions Pierced by the oft dreamt of chink, “All the tides & all the oceans, Dare this be what I think” By private line he reachʹd the President ‐ To serve his hopes, it seemʹd, an angel sent. “God be with you!” how civilly Men end a strange phone call With boyish glee he vee’d vict’ry, “So we’ve won after all... Now Hitler’s fate is seal’d,” he utters with a sterner drawl. London December 7th 1941 The Japanese are, to the highest degree, both agressive & unaggressive, both militaristic & aesthetic, both insolent & polite Ruth Benedict
