Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFDIJKLMNOPQR KSTUF| Ten minutes now I have been looking at this | A |
| I have gone by here before and wondered about it | B |
| This is a bronze memorial of a famous general | C |
| Riding horseback with a flag and a sword and a revolver | D |
| on him | E |
| I want to smash the whole thing into a pile of junk to be | F |
| hauled away to the scrap yard | G |
| I put it straight to you | H |
| After the farmer the miner the shop man the factory | F |
| hand the fireman and the teamster | D |
| Have all been remembered with bronze memorials | I |
| Shaping them on the job of getting all of us | J |
| Something to eat and something to wear | K |
| When they stack a few silhouettes | L |
| Against the sky | M |
| Here in the park | N |
| And show the real huskies that are doing the work of | O |
| the world and feeding people instead of butchering them | P |
| Then maybe I will stand here | Q |
| And look easy at this general of the army holding a flag | R |
| in the air | K |
| And riding like hell on horseback | S |
| Ready to kill anybody that gets in his way | T |
| Ready to run the red blood and slush the bowels of men | U |
| all over the sweet new grass of the prairie | F |
