Just a minute...man

I look forward to meeting you all

Sorry if I seem rude but

You wont see me 

You wont hear me coming...

coming... 

to a town near you.

I am the descendant of the 

legendary Fat Boy; 

of the great Littleman

My sky-carriages -

Hwasong, Minuteman, Topol

and many other names.

I especially look forward 

to joining 

intimately with 

a select few of you -

to our very elements fusing

in a dance that was first performed

soon after the universe's birth 

and ever since

For those who sit 

out the initial whirl

Well...my, my...

You'll know that I've been

You'll wear my tattoos 

All over your body

see my calling card

all around and above you

in the ground and in the water

and in the food

soon

My day will come...

I look forward to meeting you all.

ok...i very scared sir ... you aren't coming my way are you?? :O
great job pointing out our plight ...since the beginning ... silence, surprise and deadly all came to play with man's first attack upon himself eh!? the sarcasm is well wielded my friend .. and word play subtle .. there are a lot of things we do in a war that wreak of phalic.. such a shame to waste the beauty of sexuality ...did you mean to change Fat Man and Little Boy on purpose? you must have ;) i think this is a strong treatise on savage history ..war is never pretty nor wanted by sane people ...only necessary in survival mode .. well done!
E.
ps in a final glimpse at your title i just got it :} duh!

[Tony Jordan]

as Inspector Clouseau of the Surete might say - "I have meexed up zee atomic bums' - it was Fat Man and Little Boy wasn't it ...? lol
thanks for that heads up E!!

Thank you too for the review and sorry for scaring ya!

[Einstein Noodle]

well...it is almost time for All Hallows Eve ;)

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Well, you have me running for cover Tony! You have elevated the alert level to red with your eloquent, clever, relevant, scary as all get out ,atomic poem! The devil of many names incarnate. And fools in charge of it all....are we glowing in the dark yet??? Kudos!

[Carol Cashes]

Holy S**t, Tony! Bad day at the office?

Seriously, this is not even a veiled threat but a straight up promise. Palpable, blatant and very, very frightening (with thunderbolts and lightning!).

Loved it.

[Tony Jordan]

'Thunderbolts and lightning...? aha...
♩ ♪ ♫ ♬...Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning. Very, very frightening me. (Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo Galileo Figaro...!!!! ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬

[Carol Cashes]

So you sing all the parts, too?

[Tony Jordan]

I need to don my tightest PVC jumpsuit to get the high notes ;P

[Carol Cashes]

Yeah, I just lip sync those parts, now. Scrunch ya face right, and nobody'll know the difference!

[Tony Jordan]

lol - yeah baby ! *devils horns*

lol...Carol - watch a small clip of this guy. He's a comedian and he's talking about those 'misheard lyrics' that we all sing, it's hilarious.

every dog has his day. chickens come home to roost, what goes around, comes around and all that other stuff. a dance of doom. clever, this from silos launching spitballs ...

[Tony Jordan]

play with fire...etc
I hear ya mate. Stupidity might just get us all killed.

[Tony Jordan]

wheres my manners - Thank you Pete. :))

[Sami Khalil]

You are amazing. I like how you use seriousness with humor to get the message across. I hope we don't have to be in a nuclear exchange of bad boys and fat boys...Marvelous.

[Tony Jordan]

I'd love to see them both in the ring - old style pugilism. It would make enough money in ticket sales to feed the worlds poor.
Thank you Sami - you're a true gent.

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha. Me too. You are welcome. Puglism and Piglism. Lol

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Though it is irrelevant probably but it kinda reminds me of the current situation we have in the city I am in, of a psychopath running loose with a knife attacking young women. Your post reads to me as if that psychopath addressing us all. Lol sorry my weird mind runs amok ;P
Interesting write, Tony.

[Tony Jordan]

No I get that. I'm sure that Jack The Ripper spoke in such a distanced manner to the whole of the Eastend of London - and the Yorkshire Ripper also had that cold 'matter of fact' pride in his work too, so I totally get that the guy doing the crimes in your city might also. Perhaps such madmen share a vocabulary and inner voice that would make the rest of us - 'normal' people - sick if we experienced it and we'd know for sure we were possessed.
Thank you Yumna. :)

[Tony Jordan]

And please be careful and stay safe Yumna.
(hugs)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

It would certainly feel like that... You're welcome, Tony.
I will be careful (no walking around alone in the streets for now) 😶

[Tony Jordan]

Wow - scary!
There was once a serial rapist in my district and the men organised chaperones for all the women who were out walking at night.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'd be more afraid of those chaperones than the real ones, frankly 😶

[Tony Jordan]

Lol - well some of them were scary looking but had they tried anything then they would have suffered swift community justice (i.e. the would have been shot in the ankles, knees and elbow - a fate colloquially known as a 'six-pack') lol

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Sounds fair...!! :p

[Tony Jordan]

Lmao - you'd fit right in here in Befast haha

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'm guessing a funnier reason of that than you let on lol 😛😂

[Tony Jordan]

Nooo lol
Just because its the home of the Ballsy woman

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Errr right :p

[alanwgraham]

Too close for comfort Tony but very eloquently told. The way you have written about this poetically and in an indirect way is very effective. In the past we may have had some comfort that the architects of MAD were not mad but now I'm not sure. A couple of years ago I discovered that my dad had gone to visit Hiroshima at the end of the war but he never spoke about it! I wrote a story about this called 'Walking to zero' which is on my list.
Regards,
Alan

[Tony Jordan]

Yes I agree Alan - MAD wasn't as mad as it might have seemed but this new version of MAD is quite literal and possible.
I read walking to zero Alan. It was amazing how you were able to put yourself there and do it do convincingly (I say that because I researched Hiroshima to the Nth degree like the obsessive I am lol).
Thanks Alan. I appreciate your excellent review.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ok this went off like a rocket and bombed!!!!!!
Creative description of the most powerful and destructive weapons we humans use on one another short of the nuclear deterrent! Well spoken in the words of missile!

[Tony Jordan]

Thanks John. The image of the pizza delivery on the bomb silo doors inspired this one.
And I thought Belfast humour was dark !
Cheers mo chara.
