Adolf In Touch

Sometimes, though not often anymore
Hitler taps my shoulder
Be serious you laugh, this could not be
But you are you and I am me
Quietly reading, hidden in a book
As I so often was in midst of Blitz
A fast running front, a storm
A roll of thunder crumples in the distance
Grows louder near
Flashes and crashes here
Rumbling recedes
The storm passes
And my subconscious
Listens for sirens
Sounding  All Clear

As a person that enjoys Modern History, particularly the Nazi era, I find this an interesting and graphic read that flows pretty well. Keep it up!

Scousers like me can't forget Hitler.
