SONG FOR THE BOMB

No need to whistle

For a heat seeking missile

No needs to cry

Its death from the sky

They’re not quite specific

But results are horrific

Hospitals and schools

War crime rules?

Hit em with some gas

When questioned just say pass

It’s all fake news

Do they take us all for fools?

Social media lies

Facebook Twitter fines

Mainstream can’t be trusted

And papers they’ve been busted

So what’s real what’s not?

Is it society’s death and rot?

Who is right who is wrong?

Hey don’t worry X Factors on!

FUN FACTS ABOUT THE BOMB - ( No irony here )

• You might expect Japan to glow in the dark for 57 years after two atomic blasts. But they are not because the bombs were detonated in the air not on the ground.
• Lucky to survive one atomic bomb? But two — a Japanese man did survive both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He’s rethinking his travel agency.
• A Hiroshima survivor won the Boston Marathon in 1951. 
• Fat Man was the codename for the Nagasaki bomb and Little Boy was the Hiroshima bomb.
• The citizens of Kokura, Japan are happy that the bomb intended for them ended up in Nagasaki instead.
• Another survivor of the Hiroshima attack was a Bonsai tree planted in 1626. It’s current home is a US Museum.
• When it rains it pours. First the bombing of Hiroshima than a month later a typhoon kills an additional 2,000 citizens.
• The atomic bombs were good but we can always improve. In 1962 a hydrogen bomb, 100 times more powerful than Hiroshima, was detonated in space.
• Visitors to Las Vegas in the 50s loved to take in atomic bomb tests — a major tourist attraction.
• In an effort to heat up the cold war the US considered dropping an atomic bomb on the moon — just to show off how bad they were.
• Big things come in small packages. Matter weighing about the same as a paper clip generated the power of the Hiroshima bomb.
• Russia leads the league in atomic weaponry with over 8,400 nuclear weapons.
• There is a museum on the site of the first atomic bomb testing site in New Mexico. Due to radiation it’s only open 12 hours per year.

THAT'S AMAAAAAAZING

Sergeant Major Karl Ley (UK), of 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment of the British Army, has made safe 139 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) planted by the Taliban during a six-month tour in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, and been awarded the UK George Medal. According to the medal citation, he has cleared more IEDs than any other operator in history. In one three-day period, he removed an incredible 42 bombs form a village outside the town of Grereshk. The George Medal is the second highest gallantry that a civilan can be awarded in the UK and it may be awarded to military personnel if their act does not qualify for a military gallantry award.

RANDOM JOKE OF THE DAY

I got ran over by a hire van earlier. Hertz.

Medical Word ( to your Mother )

Ice cream headache

Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. Say it five times fast to warm up your mouth and relieve the brain freeze.

SEEN

I have seen two grandchildren born 

A miracle is every birth

I have seen the breaking dawn

On this our beautiful earth.

I have seen grief in a mother's eyes

When words are not enough

I have seen the sick arise

Their first step so tough.

I have seen the waves wash over rocks

Foamy water refreshing the sand

I have seen the floating dandelion clocks

Blown from a child's hand.

I have seen what a kindness can do

When there is a friend in need

I have seen that tea for two

Can help that friend indeed.

The Thoughts of Chairman Anyhow

It's been reported on the news today that Meghan Markle's stepsister has stated that no one is going to stop her saying what she likes to the press. I take it she's not familiar with the Duke of Edinburgh and his way of working.
