Oh! What a marvelously diverse set of responses for such a miscellaneous.
Glad it was enjoyed. It's a subject that, while it can be quite funny (see "Dr. Strangelove") can't be seriously funny.
A fine read is all I can ask (thanks for yours). Trying to learn the ropes concerning substitutions in forms, fell overboard.
Ah, the perils of focus and jargon! In the business, "nuke" is pronounced as one syllable, with the "e" silent. Your double/triple entendre reading does make it amusing - but say, more amusing, if you like gallows humor.
Mars is always too serious. [Helically fasten] him.
@all - Thanks for the respective reads and comments!

Quote:While the title is brilliant, there is an unfortunate double, or in this case triple, entendre that can't possibly have been intended.
Mars the seriousness of the poem.
