Preparing my Wordle for the Third World War

 

I would have said that the Cold War was the Third

Viet-Nam was hot enough for me

But the old men rattling their dentures in anger

Assure us that this new war is the one

 

Today I withdrew some cash from the bank

Topped off the gas tanks and the lawnmower cans

Bought water, toilet paper, and batteries

And propped my walking stick beside my bed

 

My daughter says that tomorrow we start WORDLE

With “PEACE” - her warfare is the best of all
