My neighbor is building a nuclear bomb
right in his backyard,
he has all the parts,
a do-it-yourself model.
He does make me nervous because
he has a proud smile on his face,
that same smile
when he had bought
his snowblower last winter.
He became a one-man snow-removal machine,
he plowed sidewalks, driveways, alleys,
for blocks around him
testing its strength and capability.
And now he has a nuclear bomb,
his latest pride and joy.
Will he test its strength and capability
just like he did with his snowblower?
