Bad News

I woke this morning, so happiLY
to the song of a bird in a tree.
My mood was diminished,
and breakfast not finished,
because the headline read "World War III".

It could happen. Do we need bomb shelters again? Thanks for the warning

Haha, yep, it could happen, and it would be terrible, but I'm not going to worry about it - lol.
