It’s December 21st in some parts of the world, and we’re still here … I think.
Mayan Musings (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The end of the world hasn’t come.
Some are bummed, I suppose. Some are numb.
Or perhaps the prediction
Came true — isn’t fiction,
But to notice, we’re just too damn dumb.
Limerick Ode To End Timers
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Fanatics are trying to fend
With this concept: the world’s gonna end.
When portentous predictions
Turn out to be fictions,
They re-do their math and amend.
(Prompted by dire religious predictions and this weekend’s end theme)
