Know When To Fold 'Em

It seems the world is on the brink of

something much too big to think of

as just a pair of boys being boys

comparing both their big bang toys.

There’s that chubby chap in North Korea

who fills my waking hours with fear

well, if he’s never thought to change his barber

he might be dumb enough to nuke Pearl Harbour.

And the other bloke, who pouts his lips

and likes to touch his fingertips

and wears that bloody awful wig.

I hope his ego’s not so big

he tries to win what can’t be won

and thee and me get megatonned.
