They say that H.G. Wells was a fan of building blocks.
And he played his small war games with his children.
They used those blocks to create a world.
Then they set out to fight, fight, fight!

He invented the first games like that
and they took off with such, such might.
You could easily see that it led the way
to games like Warhammer 40k.

You know that it is really fun
and the things that they buy go out like sunshine
rolling across the fields
just their soldier's entrails.

And with war games genres bloomed
and it has never been the same.
Tiny soldiers spilling their guts.
Fighting each other for some nuts.

Giant nuts to them, of course.
But regular nuts to you and me.
Those soldiers there are weeping
because they want to see.

That fruit is
some sort of soldier divinity.
All of this playing
upon building blocks.

And the Little Wars of H.G. Wells
became oh, much, much more
as people built on them and they did explore.
For building blocks can be so much fun.

Especially if you
want to destroy Capitalism!
Especially if you
are a Socialist!
