two minute Tanka

two minute Tanka

A Poem by Baby Ricochet
"

Cause that's how much time I spent making it up

"
The last man on earth 
Will be killed in a shootout 
With a giant roach 
Over twenty bucks of crack 
cause addiction and roaches
Will be the last things to go

Clever as always, BR. And to think you wrote this for only two minutes! I can't believe I'm such a turtle.

Yup, the roaches will survive it all.....and addictions will never end, will they? Hell, they are more constant than death and taxes! Witty write! Lydi**

Thank you Lydia
Damn, this is quite witty for only two minutes of your life! I love how you found more than one way to express the word "end" and related them to each other. Great work!

This is AWESOME!! (And I think you may be right, on top of that). Have you heard of The Asylum movie studio? This sounds like one of their plot summaries.
