Tater Launcher

A house sits across on another hill from us 
and flies the Jolly Roger 
I've been tempted to raise the Union Jack 
and break out my tater launcher 

Oh what a battle and sight to see 
when the taters start to fly 
Spuds will smash upon the ground 
the dirt and dust will rise 

I'm sure they'll put up a good defense 
as to save their wounded pride 
You see, I have the advantage in this fight 
I live up on the high side 

There's bound to be some casualties 
when it comes to broken windows 
But just imagine how the neighbors will jump 
when we let off the final crescendo 

I can visualize the reporters gathering... 
"For Fox news this is Stacy Devon 
reporting on the tragic tater incident 
stay tuned for film at eleven". 


This poem was inspired by a house that does sit across from us on another hill.  They 
do fly the skull and cross bones

makes you wonder don't it, what makes a person fly a flag like that. Is it just to be funny, or irritate others? have you had things missing?
