U. X. B.

He found an unexploded bomb

Then quickly fetched a hammer

He’d have the end off this thing quick

Much faster than a spanner.

He’d seen them dropping out of planes

He’d seen the damage done

He’d like to have a look inside

He thought it might be fun.

One more whack and he would soon

Have the damn thing out

From the distance he could hear

His mother, give a shout.

“Your dinners on the table

And it’s nearly half past three”

One thing’s for sure

With that last clout

He won’t be home for tea.

  1. Oh, dear. Actually it made me think of a sitcom here from the eighties. It was called Sledge Hammer and the guy was an over-the-top parody of every tough guy, Dirty Harry type of cop you can think of. His tagline was, “Trust me. I know what I’m doing.” When they were going to cancel the show, the last episode showed Sledge and his partner and their boss finding a nuclear bomb with 42 seconds left on it. “Hammer! You can’t defuse that bomb!” “Trust me! I know what I’m doing!” Ka-boom. https://youtu.be/XGoU7urNTbI
