A group of small children
Is going to the circus
In Southwold, Suffolk.
Their childminder
Is a thin woman
With a briefcase.
"What have you got
In your briefcase, Miss?"
Asks one of the children.
"Three pounds of Semtex plastic explosive
Timed to go off at 3.45pm today,
And two and a half thousand ball bearings."
"Is your briefcase strong enough
To contain the explosion?"
"No, darling.
My briefcase is strong enough
To contain the explosive,
But insufficiently robust
To contain the explosion itself."
"Won't it make a bit of a mess, Miss?"
"I hope so, darling.
But then it'll be nice
And quiet, won't it?"
Generation gap
Intruders
Unlike the others
