(Written for a 50-word story challenge at WritingForums.com)


A lieutenant named Sergevich
At an eastern missile site
Spilled his coffee on the launcher
And the missile took to flight.

A lieutenant named McGarry
Deep within a western hill
Saw the missile on the radar,
Hit the button, took a pill.

Alas!
Despair!
It went downhill
From there.


------
It wouldn't be right to dream, while
Forgetting to live, it seems;
Nor would it be right to dwell on life
And yet forget our dreams.
-If There Were No Magicians

by Nimbus1944

it's a poem,
a short story, and would also fit into the humor category, in my humble opinion. it's a good one.
