What War -- Why Worry

Bombs dropping
Wives shopping

Guns blazing
Frats hazing

Troops shooting
Crooks looting

Tanks rumbling
Drunks stumbling

Ships sinking
Flirts winking

More killing
Steaks grilling

Blood flowing
Moms sewing

Wounds gaping
Teens vaping

Men missing
Lips kissing

Hordes dying
Pols lying...

John Watt Date: 9/19/2020 7:28:00 PM Your contrasting couplets are so sobering, GW. But this is the first time I've heard that politicians actually lie... say it isn't so! Great write, and congrats on your win ~ JW Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/21/2020 7:26:00 PM Thanks for the comment, John. And by the way, it's not true that politicians don't lie... lol. :) gw

Geoffrey Brewer Date: 9/11/2020 2:20:00 AM Life goes on and on. You convey the inevitability with an underlying feeling of sardonic acceptance. Nice one Gershon.
