American - Soviets

G: Godd evening

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.
