ATOMIC BOMBS

when the bomb exploded
on the city I live in
I made a great leap
and rolled away
behind a sand heap
then I heard on the news
this was the fourth time in history
they exploded an atomic bomb
in a densely populated area
but I clearly remember
it was two times before
this should be the third time
if I am wrong
then where was the third time
they can’t hit me two times
if I’m already dead
why drop another one?
