Dave Cox Poet Rhyme

Nuclear War

Nuclear war

If there’s a nuclear war, please let me know
I’ll give the house a dust and let the parrot go
If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll call my best friend
And we’ll never know how Coronation Street ends
If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll propose to my wife
And throw a five-minute party at the end my life
If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll do what I’ve been craving
And drink that bottle of Brandy and stop shaving
If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll speak to the neighbours
I’ll bury the ax and put away the sabers
If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll believe in god.
I’ll ask him to forgive this reformed atheist sod
If there’s a nuclear war, I’ll curse my luck
They’re killing us all and don’t give a f**k
So, this is it, I finally say as the sky grows dark
We could have survived global warming, by building an ark.
