The End is Nigh

Another daft poem

“The end is nigh” she said,

“21st ‘ December to be precise”,

I wasn’t really listening

“Oh” I replied, “that’s nice”

 

“The end is nigh” she said,

“Yes you said already”

I was taking the piss

“So after shall we have a bevy?”

 

“The end is nigh” she said,

“The Mayan Calendar shall cease”

I just rolled my eyes and thought

“At least I might get some peace”

 

“The end is nigh” she said,

“Oh for crying out loud”

“Keep your voice down luv”

“You’re gonna draw a crowd”

 

“The end is nigh” she said,

“The universe will implode”

I couldn’t help myself

“Should we put Christmas on hold?”

 

“The end is nigh” she said,

Now enough was enough

“Like you said in 2003?”

And she just walked off in a huff.

Clever, amusing and most appropriate. I guess since mankind lived in caves, someone has been warning of the end. Reminds me of one of the tales from "Illustrated Man".
