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
