Tug Dumbly - Lingo Forecast


Lingo Forecast

Who uses ‘ticking time bombs’ anyway -
Dick Dastardly?
And really, the ‘State’s a Tinderbox’?
Maybe the State’s a Little Lucifer
State’s a broken bottle in grass
State’s a kid with a magnifying glass
State’s a lightning strike in the national park
State’s an outda control backburn
State’s a zippo in the hands of a pyro
bush firey tongueing to play the hero
and put out the inferno he started …  
Not as sparky ‘tinderbox’, granted,
but for exactitude we go the extra mile.
