When war comes Not a matter of if But when History repeats Itself Again and again Have to stay fit Have to stay thin The food supply Will dwindle down Perhaps U.N. troops Will be occupying our towns Those muscle bound men WIth so much mass It will be harder For them to last There will be Barely enough to eat I will be grateful to Own many pairs of good socks And good running shoes On my feet I have two can openers too Just look what I can do Our own supply will last a month Or two After that, we are just plain ******* If I could save up enough money I would buy more For there are terrible times In store The glow of the smart phones Lulls them away Living in a dream world But there is trouble today America broke And at her end This economy will not mend Dig your holes deep Pile earth and wood Exposure to radiation Is no good If there is a war I just hope That there are no Nuclear bombs They are no joke

Hard Times May Be Coming
