| The Mushroom |
| He left for work like normal, the weather was fine that day He kissed the wife upon the cheek and started on his way Now he didn't get very far, when he beheld a strange sight Something so unexpected, it gave him an awful fright There was a giant mushroom, the biggest he'd ever seen If he were watching TV, it would have filled the screen It was multi-coloured, with splashes of yellow and red The kind of a spectacle, the kind to make you drop dead The top was dome-shaped, with dimples and varied bumps The underside had dark pockets and appeared to have many lumps It sat upon a glowing stalk, which radiated the purest gold Its vista spoke in volumes, of a great power as yet untold As he stood transfix by the sight, his awe he could not hide And after just a moment, it gave him a warm feeling deep inside He shook his head in wonder, and thought how really sad How something that was so beautiful, could turn out to be so bad Unfortunately it only lasted, all but the briefest of time For by the morals of Man, it was considered a grevious crime Because this particular wonder, this variety of mushroom Springs from a nuclear seed, that starts with a sonic BOOM |
