The bunker


The bunker

Hiding in a bunker in forty five,
From anti-fascists, Hitler, running scared
And determined not to be caught alive,
Took a cyanide capsule, pre-prepared,
And tested on his dog some time before.
Eva did the same, consequently died,
And Hitler, presumably to be sure
Of success in committing suicide,
Gave himself a wound with his service gun;
And that, being as fatal as the pill,
Made doubly certain the job was well done;
The ending, perfectly fitting the bill,
Of despot, in a bunker, underground;
Does that sentence have a familiar sound?
