Experiment 12

[three untitled poems by Adrienne Young]

page 22

Dedicated with no apology to A. A. Milne

How sweet to be a cloud
Spreading in the blue
It makes me very proud
To be a mushroom cloud

How sweet to be a cloud
Spreading in the blue
Every little cloud
Will soon get rid of you

How sweet to be a cloud
Floating in the blue
I'll see how far my girth
Can envelope this earth

How sweet to be a cloud
Spreading in the blue
I really did not know
What fun it is to grow

How sweet to be a cloud
Spreading -in-the-blue.

Adrienne Young

Sing Ho! For the life of a bomb
Sing Ho! For the life of a bomb
I don't mind if it rains or snows
Cos' I've got a little fallout
on my nice new nose!

I don't care much if it rains or thaws
Cos' I've got a little fallout that can all be yours
Sing Ho! For one bomb
Sing Ho! For a few
And I'll have a little blast off in an hour or two.

Adrienne Young

Dedicated with no apology or regret to A. A. Milne

Megaton Megaton, Megaton Pie
You can make bombs and so can I
Destroy all the world if you can in one try.

Megaton, Megaton, Megaton Pie
A dead man can't live
But a live one can die
Send me a bomb and you'll get a reply
Megaton, Megaton, Megaton Pie.

Adrienne Young.
