Bring chocolate, bring wine
Bring baseball bats and swine
Bring your children and your lover
Bring batteries and duck for cover
Bring the song that's in your head
Bring the words you wish you said
Bring a thing to make me laugh
Bring yourself and make it fast
Nuclear winter, coming for you
Nuclear winter, here's what to do
Hide in the basement, tell all your friends
We'll sit and watch while the world ends
Bring hope and victory
Bring love and history
Bring the swingset in the yard
Bring your life and clamp down hard
Bring it, bitch.
Nuclear winter...

simple and powerful... i like it a lot... +1
and why does the title have to have anything do with the piece?? It's acceptable in music why not in writing??
I think nuclear winter would effectively END apple pie, wouldn't it? I mean, unless people built huge shelters with UV lamps in order to grow trees underground...
I think nuclear winter would effectively end Moms too, though. :(
I think what's happening, is I'm encouraging people to shelter from the fallout in the apple pie, which as everyone knows, is impervious to radiation due to all the love from Mum.
^that's quite a way to think of it. it's very...i dunno, the beginning line made me want to read all of it. plus one
I love how, The title is different than the poem to one person, but to someone else it makes sense with the poem.
My mum always asks things like that when she doesn't understand a piece of writing or something but I think it is a brilliant piece because I've made the title mean something in my head and it doesn't matter if it's wrong!
Plus one for thsi piece.
