Recipe for WWII
Take a worn out piece of fading parchment
with words with no power or meaning
and chop it up into small, thin
slices
Using a hammer, smash up a seat
of no power
located in Geneva, Switzerland
and pour
in two smiling white men
who love pandering to
others
knead slowly while
adding three angry revolutionaries
screaming for war
Next, mix
in tanks, airplanes and
blitzkrieg.
don’t forget to add
a aggressive and relentless
island nation.
Place in an oven for twenty one years
when complete, sprinkle with
the National Socialist German Worker’s Party.
Sit back and enjoy the carnage.

Very clever posting Scott! You related WWII to a poem(and with ease it appears). The specific detail/imagery makes this piece interesting and informative. This would be excellent for "novice" to WWII. I just wonder about the few punctuation mistakes. Otherwise, this is a fantastic recipe for disaster! =)
