It’s Sunday, July 12, 2015,
a weekend away from the
Forth; youngsters with left
over fireworks set them off.
Bombs burst in the distance;
the dog shivers; the thrill of
the explosions for the kids.
Wow! Did you see that? Holy
Cow! Hopefully, it’s the only
“Holy Cow” they will ever
experience — harmless ex-
plosions in the night sky,
the history of which they
know nothing, nothing,
nothing at all but which
they may be, probably
will be, destined to
repeat for real.
Destined to repeat … bombs bursting in air … the dogs of war snarl and snap … real dogs shiver.
