Recycling

Missing image

They spoke of nuclear arms
Missiles could hit the coast
Death to every nation
Oh how they’d strut and boast

Building secret weapons
Leaders would speculate
What are they doing now?
Will destruction be our fate?

Spies were sent to see
To uncover all their plans
They couldn’t find a thing
Won’t someone save our land?

Then came that fateful day
Radar saw it way up high
The warning was sent out
Sirens screamed their cry

People ran for cover
Their fears were now at hand
It filled their hearts with dread
An attack upon their land

But fears were soon erased
When they felt a little bump
Rising from the ground
Was a little metal stump

That’s when they realized
Recycling had gone too far
So now we’re being attacked
With worn out Korean cars

    That was a very funny poem. I liked how the poem seemed intense and then that humorous ending.

      Thanks georgie. I always appreciate your comments. Somehow, the idea of Korea, cars and bombs all fit.

      You're correct about the car quality. That just means they have more ammo.

I guess from now on when I hear thunder I better take a closer look around me cause there might just be a few new driving obstacles to avoid now mighten there be... lol

      A few more of these would definitely make rush hour a little more interesting.
