How did he, if he wasn't bluffing
Find out about Washington?
Neither of them said anything for a while
As the General fanned himself with his hat.
What's this about space research?
What makes that an exception
To our 'Misuse of the world's resources?'
The Chairman smiled inwardly.
So the other had been listening
Even through his dogged resistance.
There is you and there is me.
I've been elected, you ordered to decide.
I want to help you come to your decision
But I am going to have to have
Your entire concentration.
No impudence intended, sir.
I hold your courage in the highest esteem.
You're a great leader of men. We need you.
A tongue pushed at the soldier's wrinkled jaw.
The stilted language touched him.
Perhaps it was because it came
With effort from this man whom he found
Despite their completely antipodal views
Impossible to dislike.
A little hot from the walk
He stopped and scratched his side.
