Broiled friends defy description.

Nuclear cooking benefits only buzzards.

There’s a flash in the panhandle,

and Florida floats out to sea,

a theme park of ash.

Those who saw New York go

will not remember for the pain.

The west coast was all too easy

with its many faults.

Survivors flock to the midlands,

a dust-covered wastescape

where the sun is seldom seen

but the wind is constant.

Odds are the Australians

will be the last to die.
