Klaxon*

There it goes again!
Okay, now I'm in a whole other part of town,
It's 11 am on a Monday,
and air-raid sirens are going off.
What the hell is that?
Where are the doodlebugs**?


*"Klaxon" is or was a popular brand name that got adopted into common usage, like "Band-Aid", "Fridgidaire", or "Windex".
**"Doodlebugs" was a pet name the English RAF gave to the buzz-bombs the Germans dropped on London during WW2.
