bang the drum
extinguish with rum
light the fuse
and start to run
head start
point blank
shot themselves
with America’s gun.
how fun.

truth definitely applies in this piece, enjoyed
Norman, thank you kindly, my friend. This one certainly wasn't aiming for subtlety. 😄 Glad it landed and that you enjoyed it. 🇺🇸🧨🖤🙏
most welcome
Good write T. Any TOM-foolery or gluggery abounding?! lol. 'Knitting' you call it, Ol'Tom? Why? Find out on WCAT which tells us no answers. lol.
In gun we've fun !
Lorenz, haha! 😄 Disturbingly concise...and unfortunately not entirely inaccurate. Thanks for stopping by, my friend. 🇺🇸🧨🖤🙏
Indeed Head Stard did shoot itself with America's gun. Well said my friend.
Soren, thank you, my friend. 😄 There certainly are times when the damage ends up being self-inflicted rather than coming from the outside. Glad it landed, my friend.. 🇺🇸🧨🖤🙏
Always a pleasure my friend
paradox, irony, and disillusionment... what a state of all states... 🙏🕊️
arqios, exactly, my friend. 🙏 Paradox, irony, and disillusionment often seem to travel together, don't they? Sometimes reality becomes so tangled that the only honest response is to point at it and let the contradiction speak for itself. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🇺🇸🧨🖤🙏
