End of Our World

Let’s hold hands and sip red wine

while we wait for the dinosaurs

to trample us

We hear the roar of T-Rex and

the ground rumbles as Brontosaurus

ambles across fields of sweet corn

flattening barns and houses

Pterodactyls swoop down to

snatch grazing cows in their long

toothed beaks

There will be no happy ending

Let’s hold hands and sip red wine

until the children are in dreamland

and peace reigns in our world again
