23.4.11

Not having the atomic pie but selling it

Nuclear power plants are oh so bad
is what German politicians suddenly said
after the Fukushima event in Japan.
But are they bad enough to ban
German exports of such plants
to people in other lands?

Written as the requested short, satirical poem for NaPoWriMo day 23. Some of the rhymes limp, but what’s a little poetic stumble compared to the big tumble of some nuclear power plants?

Just as party manifesto's are so good we vote that paty in, but never so good they actually achieve their aims....

Why not? We're all intent on exporting all things deadly daily. I say: Let's all just get nuked!
