Bits and Pieces of Fact



Braggadocios  Colonel McBragg
caught a truth bomb
gag shrapnel frag
This sent his damaged, prideful heart
on a flatline drag

His coffin was dress uniform covered
by a neatly folded flag

All those in consternated attendance,
wondered ruefully ...
with fretful thoughts a-sag,
that brain prickly did nag:
 
What classified secrets loose lips McBragg
had let out of the intel bag

'Caught a truth bomb' what a great metaphor, we need to set off more truth-bombs!
