Come friendly bombs fall on Taipei,
It should not be allowed to stay.
Its buildings drab, its skys dark grey,
It looks like shit.
Come friendly bombs fall on Taoyuan,
So much improved it will be when,
It’s open farmland once again
And not a dump.
Come friendly bombs fall on Taizhong,
Its architechture’s really wrong,
And though it’s better than Kaohsiong,
That’s no excuse.
Come friendly bombs fall on Kaohsiung,
By now its time has been too long,
And ev’ryone will sing a song,
When it is flat.
To all of those who love Taiwan,
You must accept what’s to be done,
We must not be afraid to say,
The milit’ry’s the only way.
Not quite faithful to the rhyme structure of the original (Slough), but not bad for sitting in a hospital queue. Inspired by Ma’s plan to improve Taoyuan airport, which should really include flattening Taoyuan.

Hey, the USAF already tried… seems like they failed back then… Hit the presidential palace, Longshan Temple and Taipei First Girls’ High School for example…
That’s an awesome site you linked there: shulinkou.tripod.com/Dawg1.html Full of old photos relating to the US air base in Linkou… but also from Taipei etc. Cool
I don’t really get what you want to say with that, can you explain please?[/quote]
I mean I don’t like the uniform of Taipei First Girls School either (and I don’t know anyone who does), but I think bombing the school for their uniform is expressing discontent too enthusiastically. George Vocational High School has the best girls uniform in Taipei, by the way. Ankle length dark navy box pleat skirts in winter.
I guess there might be a wee bit of a misunderstanding No one is suggesting to bomb that high school specifically. It just happens to be one of the non-military targets that were hit during the US bombing raids on Taipei in WW2, along with Longshan temple etc.
