Third World War

My thought was the third world war had begun

   Fireworks plagued our 'hood by the megaton

      I placed earplugs in my ears

         As neighbors hailed the New Years

            I in blissful sleep let them have their fun

It seems that you won.' I won't tell anyone Bob. You know how they are searching for recruits These days..And that masterstroke you Describe could land you on 'snake Island' I think its well enough paid..Yet rather badly Played by a comedian against an ex k g b Agent turned free market capitalist.?? The World is just not predictable anymore..'

Hi Robert, we heard fireworks late New Year's Eve in our neighborhood too. But, they quieted down sooner than they did on the 4th of July. If our dogs are inside they won't bark at them. You pen well. All the best to you in 2024. ~

Thanks for you kind comments, Regina. That's about the way it went in our 'hood for New Years eve. Ear plugs helped! All quiet on the western front but cold and snowy here in Colorado - Best to you for the New year - BobH
