from “The Pirates of Lancaster”, or “The Slave of Nostalgia” (with very few apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan … or “The Mikado”) As someday it must happen, and a sucker must be found I've got a Little List, I bought the whole damn List For “SPI” aficianados who have long been underground And really weren't missed, they surely weren’t missed For World War Two enthusiasts, a group we’ll sure indulge There’s creaky stuff on Leningrad and lots of Parker Bulge We’ve Agincourt and Alamo, two titles highly sought And lots of stuff on modern wars that no one ever bought And to ensure that fans of Nap and Zucker won’t be pissed The Emperor’s on the list, with Quads we mostly dissed With dollars grasped “en fist” We bought the whole damn list We emptied out Lorraine’s warehouse of junk that no one missed We’ve Okinawa, Lille and Marne, Seelöwe and Leyte El Alamein and Fox, a mighty box of rocks Three big games on Stalingrad, and Minuteman… Wow! Hey!! Now don’t that starch your socks! (I’d rather have the Pox.) There’s Warfare in the West, the Ice, Pacific and the East Who cares if they’re all out-of-date and everyone a beast There’s Great War stuff that no one played, and sand from ole Sinai There’s Titan Strike and other crap. Who cares? It’s SPI! A passel of old Prados and leftover Joseph Bo Who cares if its passée? I got that great Logo! I may be deep in hock, but always call me Doc Because I’ve got the List I just pray they’re all still missed.
