COLD WAR<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

11-29-2016<\/p>\n

The eagle came to the bear,
\nAnd tried to push him back,
\nBear took his great big paw,
\nAnd gave that bird a smack.<\/p>\n

Eagle flew at the bear again,
\nCame in for another attack,
\nBear swung with both his paws,
\nBird’s bones just went crack.<\/p>\n

Seems like another Cold War,
\nEurope & NATO in eagle’s sack,
\nBear may have them for dinner,
\nAs he cooks them on his rack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
