Russian tanks

Russian tanks moving forward
Small town waiting with bated breath
Everyone running; for the cellars
Shots fired: warning them
My dad was just a child
Wanted to see what all 
The fuss was about
Didn't want to hide away
Wanted to brave it out
So he climbed up 
Onto a bricked wall
Watched those tanks 
Moving forward
One shot fired
To the left of him
Another to the right
Warning him
Of the Russians might! 
Finally my dad was 
Scared enough 
To move out of sight!
