DEFENSE

Keep your temper, gentle sir,
Writes the manufacturer,
Though your goods are overdue,
For a month and maybe two,
We can't help it, please don't swear,
Labor's scarce and steel is reare,
Can't get zinc, can't get dies,
There are facts-we tell no lies.
Johnny's drafted, so is Walt,
So it isn't all our fault;
And your order, we're afraid
May be still a bit delayed.
Soon you'll get it, don't be vexed,
Maybe this month, maybe next,
Keep on hoping, don't say die,
We'll fill your order bye and bye.
