merry-go-round

The war ended, and peace was at hand.

The people celebrated by making babies, a veritable boom of babies.

But the old men had other ideas

and they conjured new wars.

And one day the baby boom grew to old men

and started new wars of their own.

Who will be the first

to cry “peace”?
