From many quarters come loud cries
Out in the open – no disguise
Is nuclear winter on its way?
Tenterhooks are back in play!
Chat-chat and jaw-jaw down in Prague
Resolve nothing; we’re ill-starred
The atmosphere is getting tense;
Against such folly – no defence.
Since Nagasaki brought War’s end
In high drama, Nations tend
To rattle sabres, scream and shout
And let reservists fight it out…
Satan’s weapon primed - in check
But mass destruction stays a threat!
As Fall-Out – real and metaphor
Could be a step too far - and more …
