KING KONG
A killer ape is loose
On the Capitol steps.
He pounds his chest and hoots
Enigmatical threats
As yet no one dares to cage
This hysterical beast
Who seems determined to wage
Full scale war in the East.
We are mesmerized by his show
Of hyperbolic menace,
Too lacking in foresight to know
We may later do penance
When millions of lives are consumed
In nuclear blasts
And our habitat is ruined
By radiant aftermath.
