An Explosive Yard
Peck peck peck *BANG*
Stupid chicken
It walked into my backyard
Dig dig dig *SIZZLE*
The sun came out
Detonated another land mine
And then my dog fried for it
Swim swim swim *TIDAL WAVE*
The lemonade in the glass dripped out
Of the cracks caused by another boom
And my little brother flew to Chicago (...)
"Daughter rake the lawn" my daddy says
"... NUUUUUUUUUUUH UHHHH" I reply
If I go out on a Tuesday and Miss Harris is watering her lawn
Then the land mines to the west will blow
But if I rake on a rainy Sunday in January
Then the land mines will be silent...
I live atop an area which I didn't even know
In a strange city after World War two
I guess they ran out of money
Or maybe they burned their cash
But they forgot to clear the area of land mines
No pool parties for me
......... Shoot me. Please.
