American – Soviets

This is Mr. Gorbachev-

R: Hello

Gorby

This is the White House

Ronald Reagan speaking-

G: Hello

My old friend

How are you today ?

R: Fine ! It’s time for our daily chess-match

Are you ready ?

G: Yes

My last move yesterday was the Queen from A6 to B6-

They both send their weapons into space-

Their people’s problems they seem to displace-

The arms-race is what they can’t negotiate-

Why ain’t it chess about what they debate ?

What went wrong on the Gulf of Iran ?

Why did the Russians invade Afghanistan ?

Why not save the money for the armaments

And be chess-partners in the turnament ?

Reagan and Gorbachev play chess on T.V.-

The senat is giving a party on the sea-

The nuclear war will forever be banned-

It’s only their kings which they have to defend.
