Dodging
We dodged a bullet called the A.L.P..
More like a Hellfire missile I would say —
I felt its breath as it passed close by me.
We dodged a bullet called the A.L.P..
With you, my friend, I’ll have to disagree —
That rocket would have blown us all away.
We dodged a bullet called the A.L.P..
More like a Hellfire missile I would say.
— D.N. O’Brien

It was an enormous relief, and a huge kick in the pants for the socialists.
