Nuclear Garden

sleeping in my nuclear garden
being warmed by the glow
dreaming of mushroom clouds
and the fall of silty black snow

waking in my nuclear garden
and i begin to hoe
no one will ever harm me
or i'll end them as i sow

walking in my nuclear garden
safe and sound i know
if there are any doubters
i weed them out and out they go

sharing in my nuclear garden
to the world its secrets i bestow
for if everyone had a nuclear garden
no one would dare let it blow

smiling in my nuclear garden
into my shelter deep below
push the little red button
before the cock thrice can crow
