The Perfect (Time) Bomb


It just enters, no call on the phone
No knock at the door when it arrives
It just shows up and says, "Deal With Me"
"I'm here, and you will just have to live with it"

"Maybe, just maybe if you are willing"
"I can show you how to bid me farewell forever"
"Let me look around......."
"Here, take these, not a lot at once, I don't want you to puke"

"That's right, swallow them all"
"Now that the TIMER is set, let's head for the FUSE"
"Ahhhhh, here, drink this; just sips, but drink it all"
"Not to fast, if you are going to get rid of me, don't puke"

"Now, we have the FUSE lit, FEEL it burning?"
"Okay, time now to finish this off"
"Grab this, that's right, sharp end toward your jugular"
"Now we have just built the perfect (Time) Bomb
3.............2.............1.."
Time's UP! 



BOOM!!!!!
