today's poem - "Sketch for a Nuclear Jukebox

Sketch for a Nuclear Jukebox

Say, buddy drop an A-Bomb in the Jukebox

Down here where all the mushrooms grow

Sink into  a roiling sea

It will be small comfort to you and me

I want to watch continents

Blown to ignorance

As the jukebox plays number 23

 

Hey, pal I want to see that plutonium glow

Right now I want to drop in an H-bomb

Keep singing that song

You know the one that makes the air a gong

Drop a big old neutron bomb

for the human race’s swan song

and it won’t be long we’ll all be gone

 

drop a bomb in the juke box for me
