Weekly Scribblings - Famous Quote

 

Yoko Ono’s annual quote: “War is over! If you want it.”** 

     This Old Fighter 

Tired of fighting, I give it up 

I'm giving in, my war will stop 

I've lived my time, cannon is yours 

Umpteen plus years, I fought for all 

The young and old, the rich the poor 

Women and men, the races all 

I played the part, warrior is done 

Grabbing my cane, buried the sword
