ONCE WE MEAN IT, by THOMAS MCGRATH Poet's Biography

Subject(s): Fascism & Fascists; World War Ii; Second World War
First Line: We'll meet in madrid
Last Line: For something to say
Subject(s): Fascism & Fascists; World War Ii; Second World War
"We'll meet in Madrid
In thirty-six!"
But Fascist Franco
Carried the day.
"In gay Paree
In forty-three!"
It took a war
To keep us away.
"We'll see you soon,
Since you've come home."
We say it now
For something to say.
