Spintunes Round 4 Shadow. Topic- The Darwin Awards. Everything in my song actually was done by award "winners". My favorites were the terrorists...

Don’t put that grenade into your pocket
After pulling the pin as a threat
When mugging the kindly local dealer
His stash isn’t all you will get
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime
One day while out scavenging for metal
Three friends found an unexploded bomb
They rolled it down the hill- it made a crater
Their remains? They could fit within your palm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime
Bridge
We will not heed this Jewish plot!
Daylight cannot be saved!
They drove to plant the bomb and learned
The daylight savings time they spurned
Would leave them all much more than burned-
The cell phone set for nine
Auto set to Israel’s time
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime
When driving with friends, all drunk and stupid
That hand grenade isn’t your friend
When you throw the pin out of the window
You’ll all come to a sticky end.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime
