A harsh but realistic slice of life. Chemical war is murder - absolutely. Horrifying. I like the ironic last verse very much. Yes, happy families. Yoiks.
If you know someone like this,I suggest you contact an exorcist immediately or book an airline ticket to exotic SE Asia,preferably travelling with a suitable chaperone:)
Purist is not a term I would use..there are other terms that I would think to be more pertinent but because I am thinking kindly of you at the moment I will refrain from using them.
Chemical warfare is monstrous and that has nothing to do with chemicals in foods.You are being provocatively scientific...off with the lab coat... Have a glass of wine...it is the drinks hour...steam some artichokes, eat with vinaigrette and watch the news... I am:)
I am too tired now to argue with you..artichokes were great now to be followed by a small quiche and green salad..Twas a busy day and I am knackered.. catcha later trouble maker:)
Hmmm, now this was a cheerful morning read. Smiles.

ReplyDeleteThought the last one would appeal to your wicked sense of irony Sherry :)
DeleteWow! I love your haiku. So creative and...exactly right.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan
DeleteI would argue that cordite is a chemical so bullets are chemical warfare too. Am I just a purist?
ReplyDeleteIt's uncanny how much the first one reminds me of someone I know.

DeleteAll warfare is monstrous. You can't sanitise bullets and grenades by demonising nerve gas. Artichokes sound good, though.
