This Tongue of Mine (Posted on 2005-08-05) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A naughty tongue shot at the SUN,
hit 2 birds, and brought down 1.
The secret the world would beg to know,
will always, always bring someone low.
What is it?

A naughty tongue: swearing,or dropping the "F-Bomb"(in this case the A-Bomb)

Shot at the SUN:(caps to draw attention), means the land of the rising sun(re: Japan)

Hit 2 birds: meaning Heroshima and Nagasaki

Brought down 1: meaning Heroshima (definately hurt more than Nagasaki)
And the Secret: is how to make the Atom bomb (we were in a race at the time, on who could develope it first)

Always bring someone low: refers either to the devastation, or could possibly be the United States' reputation
