THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
The Yanks are in chargeThe Yanks talk about other things
Chapter 140
Actually, in spite of all their success, the H-Bomb did worry the Yanks,
2More than a little bit,
3Because they’d had nuclear weapons long enough by now to realize that they were very very dangerous,
4And could kill you,
5And everybody else too,
6qBecause the Russkies had them,
7And would use them if they got the chance,
8Which the Yanks knew for sure,
9Because they knew they would use them if it came to that,
10And maybe the world wasn’t a completely perfect place after all,
11Like when some aYank woke up in the morning wondering if his children would ever get to grow old,
12bAnd when his children came home from school and asked why they needed an air raid drill,
13Because everybody would die in a nuclear air raid anyway,
14Which could happen,
15Because if the Russkies did something unspeakable,
16The Yanks would absolutely positively have to get even,
17No matter how much it cost,
18cEven if it killed them.
