Never Forget
The sky in New York was autumn azure blue
Cloudless and serene,
A September day for photographers
Skylines on their screen.
A puff of smoke - then a splash of fire
A hit on Tower One,
Minutes later we watched with mouths agape
A world war begun!
Then the Pentagon - no, it can't be done
A targeted burning mass,
Apparently alternative target two
To an insane Capital crash.
The Pittsburgh airplane - to be missile four
Who's heroic folks on board
Gave up their lives and died before
Into the White house their plane roared.
Those who know me might expect
"Nuke 'em until they glow!"
I think that that is not the answer
Let's breathe deep and take it slow.
We are a civilized land of laws
Thus, when all is done and said,
Let's carefully track each person down
And castrate them in their bed!
