I Did This Topical For Sapient Speech Tournament.....

An Elderly Lady Turns The Knob On Her Radio To Change Stations
When She Reaches A Broadcast On War Througout The Nation
Nurshuring Her Flowers Under A Cold And Windy Friday
She Looks Around, No Vehicles Or Life Rollin On The Highway
So It Must Be A Story, It's Simply A Tale Of The First World War
She Picks Up Her Water Container And Makes Way To Her Door
Holding The Radio Still In The Same Broadcast, Interesting It Is
It Reminds Me Of Tales, Like Those Stories You Tell To Your Kids
She Takes It For Granted And Goes On With Her Business
Baking Cookies For She'll Soon Go Out, Wait....What Is This?
"I Advice Everyone To Stay At Home" hhmmm, It Sound So Real
Ha, It's Only A Story, How Can I Think War's In Our Presence
But She Grew Nervous After Each Pause To A New Sentence
Cautiously Waiting To See What Would Happen Next
She Changed The Station, It's Probably A Tribute To War Vets
Listening To Her Favorite Swinging Music, She Finally Found It!
The Answer, Code Red! This In An Important Annoucement!
We Have Entered War And Have Just Been Striked At Pearl Harbor
The Shock Couldn't Have Been Grater Or Stuck Harder
She Realised That What She Had Been Listenin To Was A Warning
For What She Would Soon Hear, Screaming And Moaning
She Steppped Out To Find A Japanese Plain Swoosh Over Her
And Her Radio Breaks In To A Statement By The Governer
' It's A Sad Day In America" As Bombs Rush Through Walls And Buildings
Snaping Bones, Shattering Skulls Of Mothers And Children.....It Was A Code Red!
