12,582. OLD TUNES WITH A SWITCH

OLD TUNES WITH
 A SWITCH
Making the best of a wiry
situation, the claxons peal
for assembly : the slaves
all walk forward, broken
and bent, and as 'blind as
a cat.' Their eyes had been
gouged out upon capture.
Nine lives makes the best 
wives. They trudge now,
living on while awaiting
their rapture.
