Overwhelming Forces

The invading army came early;

Early it came,

With saturation bombing at the dawn;

Covering the dawn with so much haze

The haze blotted out the sky.

But we thought we were ready,

Ready when it came

For it came with lesser forces.

Although the forces saturated the ground

Our ground could not be taken.

We could move.

We could mobilize,

We could get about

And be resupplied.

But our weather scouts had been in error.

An error in the chill

And this chill changed this rain.

Now this rain was thunder snow

And on this error early we are snowbound.
