Mister Bomb is, to say the least, an ironical "tribute" to the nuclear arsenal.

Mr. BOMB


This was written decades ago, but it's more relevant than ever.
The pantry’s running low, as low as it can go,
We don’t know where our dinner’s coming from.
With nothing else to chew, my nails’ll have to do,
I really want to thank you, Mr. Bomb.

As my expenses mount, my shrinking bank account,
Inspires feelings rather less than calm.
But over in “Defense,” there’s oh such affluence,
I’d really like to thank you, Mr. Bomb.

I gotta hand it to ya, at least that’s what they say,
I hand it to you every single week,
And though I feel peculiar, I guess I’ll be okay,
It only hurts when I think.

No ifs, ands or buts, with pay and budget cuts,
It’s going going going Pentagon.
With infrastructure shot, and schools gone all to pot,
Did I forget to thank you, Mr. Bomb?

Adding up the figures, never fails to trigger,
A feeling in my heart so very warm.
I bet our educators living on potaters,
Really want to thank you, Mr. Bomb.

I don’t sleep very deep; it seems I just can’t keep,
From thinking if we had a false alarm,
And some computer goofed, we’d vanish in a poof,
Did I forget to thank you, Mr. Bomb?

It doesn’t cost a cent for me to sit and ponder,
It’s one thing we can all afford to do,
And thinking where it went,
I just can’t help but wonder,
Where would we be without Y-O-U?

Knowing several million overseas civilians,
Would perish with me fills me with aplomb.
It’s you I’ll eulogize while I vaporize,
Thank you but no thank you, Mr.
Thank you but no thank you, Mr.
Thank you but no thank you, Mr.…

Versione in fiorentino rustico dell’Anonimo Toscano del XXI Secolo
28 aprile 2023
Signora Bomba

Le provviste vanno giù e fra un poco ‘un ce n’è più,
‘E ‘un zi sa come si fa, la cena ‘un zi mette su.
Quando ‘un ce ne sarà più, ‘e ci si gratterà i’ Q:
Tante gràzzie, signora Bomba!

E le spese vanno su, e i’ conto in banca va giù,
E pròpio a rimané’ carmo, no, ‘e un ce la fo più.
Però alla voce “Difesa” ce n’è tanta, sì, di spesa:
Tante gràzzie, signora Bomba!

E dovre’ dà i soldi a te, oh, ‘e mi dihan così,
E così io te li do, settimane e tutti i dì.
‘E mi sento ‘un poho strano...ma va bene, sì, sì, sì,
Ma ci rimùgino e mi sento un po’ hosì.

‘E un c’è versi, taglian paghe, gli stipendi e i salari,
E ‘gnihòsa, dio serpente, va alle spese militari.
Tagli a strade e ferrovie, e la scuola alla malora…
Mi scordavo di ringrazziàlla, signora Bomba!

Se faccio du’ conticini, ‘e mi sento dentro a i’ core
Una certa senzazziòne ‘he mi dà tanto ‘halore…
‘E ci butto, gl’inzegnanti ora ‘hampan di patate,
Ma tante gràzzie di ‘hore, signora Bomba!

‘Nzomma ora ‘un dormo più, addio alle notti ‘harme
Se mi viene da penzà che magari è un farzo allarme,
Se un compiùte’ impazzisce, si scompare, si svanisce…
Ma che ‘un l’ho ringrazziàha, signora Bomba…?

Stà qui a penzà’ un pohino ‘e ‘un mi ‘hosta manco un duìno,
Gliè una hosa ‘tutti ‘huanti si potrebbe fà’ ammodino.
Chièdisi ‘ndò’ gliè cascata,
‘E ‘un zi pòle fanne a meno…
E senza di te, nemmeno!

Anvuà: Mar comùne, mezzo gaudio!

Però so che ‘nziem’ ammè, in tutti ‘ll’àrtri paesi,
Creperanno a migliòni...e ciò i nervi distesi!
E ti lodo e t’eulogìzzo mentre qui mi porverìzzo,
Tantegràzzie ma anche no, Signora…
Tantegràzzie ma anche no, ma guarda ‘hà…
Tantegràzzie e gràzzie a i’ cazzo e alla majala di tu’ mà!
