It seems
like only yesterday that Nikita was pounding on a U.N. table with his shoe
Taunting to
the U.S. that we will bury you
In Cuba 90
miles away we faced the creation of missile sites
A Soviet
Bear with MRBMs on their way flexing its military might
We probably
came as close to planned nuclear war as one could be
But Kennedy
was a leader and he knew what to do for the world to remain free
The Eagle’s
talons were ready to extend
No Red Line
in the ocean but a real naval blockade
He was not
going to play some game of speech charade
Kennedy a PT
109 vet was believable, the Bear blinked and the Crisis was at an end
Our current
CinC is not and the Bear will not blink
Putin does
not care what our CinC thinks
So now the
tests continue almost like a chicken road game
Russian
bombers testing us with any miscalculations that may put the world aflame
16 times in
last 10 days TU-95s have appeared off our coast
That close
with nuclear cruise missiles and a good
part of the U.S. would be toast
Out jets
scrambled to take the bait
But were
they on time or too late?
While this
game of chicken is going on
Soon we will
see photos of the First Family strolling across the lawn
Nothing is
more important than golf and Martha’s Vineyard to relax
Only hope
the “football” is shown on TV being carried behind Obama’s back.
