The War of 1969

There was a great war in 1969
Many died for no reason
During all four of the seasons
Shot and killed on the battle field

I was the Demolition Man
Disarming and arming 
All things that went BOOM
The Bouncing Betty was my favorite

She would bounce up high
Then spread out wide 
Killing all within
A safety pin was all I needed

To disarm this beast a secret I had to keep
But now shes obsolete
The secret is out so all can see
How to disarm Betty with just a safety pin  

This was for a contest but leave it to me I was to late, lol
