Analysis of 1940 TO 1949
I am the decade of nuclear
Reaction.
I am the Japanese surrender,
Reads the caption.
I am the Iron Curtain speech
By Winston Churchill.
I am Congress passes
The G.I. Bill.
I am George Orwell's 1984
Book.
I am the microwave oven,
A quick cook.
I am the Manhattan Project
Takes shape.
I am one of the first ones
To buy duct tape.
I am Hiroshima when we
Drop the bomb.
I am the slinky watch it
Move along.
I am the start of
World War Two.
I am, Pearl Harbor in
The Red White and Blue.
I am the Nazi's give up and
Surrender.
I am an American we will
Defend her.
