I hate those little reminders!

I hate those little reminders!

Death is the number one killer in the world.

Meanwhile life is sexually transmitted.

Oh! I nearly forgot!

I'm told, don't worry about old age,

it doesn't last long!

Just as well, neither does the money!

We'll all living on a knife's edge

waiting for some mad president

to push the button.

Why can't they play scissors instead,

it works at school.

Will we know it's coming 

and being no tomorrow,

there's no turning back

except if you're a cockroach

they survive these times quite well

until they get a whiff of insecticide.

Anyway It's Bomb appetite!

Some barbecue! Overdone I tell you,

all because the world is going crackers!

I've gone off north korean food,

too many sanctions

not enough pepper, no salt.

Hopefully tomorrow comes peacefully.

I've got bills to pay!

I like everything organised before I go!!!

So many goodbyes too!

I hate the news

with all those little reminders.

Andrew, only you could make the apocalypse fun to read about. I love the little distractions age, money and mad presidents all. I wonder if I'll wonder about this write when it really happens in front of my own eyes. :)

Well expressed, I couldn't have described this mad world any better. One line really got me: Hopefully tomorrow comes peacefully. That's a great one, I can relate to.
