Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Sierra Hotel India Tango

It’s like the Battle of Britain he moans
I can’t survive this bombardment he groans
And then he said Sh*t
That’s a direct hit
What kind of numpty films fireworks with drones



5 November is Guy Fawkes day in the UK in celebration of 
Mr Fawkes and associates trying to blow up the Houses 
of Parliament. Some would say he should have succeeded.

L Milton Hankins November 4, 2022 at 12:48 PM (chuckling) Good thinking, eh? Enjoyed this immensely. Love your title! Terry Flood November 4, 2022 at 4:09 PM Thanks, Milt. Those drones, as amazing as they are, are becoming intrusive. I love the notion of a mega expensive drone being taken out by a two bit firework. ;-) Terry

Tom Cunningham November 4, 2022 at 12:00 PM Lol, love how you bypassed the morality police. Tom Terry Flood November 4, 2022 at 3:58 PM I was quite proud of myself, Tom. I made up the title before checking the phonetic alphabet. Turns out I got it spot on.

Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 5:20 AM lol Terry. Sounds like your title is code for a Battalion. He's lucky to be alive after a direct hit. Good one for Tania. Terry Flood November 4, 2022 at 4:14 PM Of course it never occurred to me that non-Brits don’t celebrate Guy Fawkes night, when said Mr Fawkes tried to blow up parliament. Oh well… hope you got the gist. Terry Flood November 4, 2022 at 3:54 PM Thanks, Jenna. With every man and his horse owning a drone nowadays, and with firework night upon us, I wondered if drones ever get shot out of the sky by fireworks. A quick google session confirmed my suspicions. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
