BOOM or BUNCO

BAM! POW! WACK! BOOM! ---- 2016

BAM! POW! WACK! BOOM!  ---- 2020

We are such lucky spoilt little boys

with all these brightly colored toys

in primary shades and pretty hues.

Stripes and stars red white and blue.

You have yours and I have mine.

I'll have to return them after a time.

I never want to give mine back!!

In fact, I want to increase my stack.

You’ve made sure no one can touch.

Show me how - I love you very much.

When we have more or less the same,

I won’t tell them about our game.

See our ships and planes and rockets;

robots with guns inside their pockets

and model soldiers all ready to die.

They’re really cheap, so we won’t cry.

This big red button will save our face.

The threat of a push keeps ‘em in their place.
