YIPES!

That iz some fckn poignant essay! 

Between Reg’s eloquent post today & your post, Andrea,  [& others...such as my little well-meant ditty of little effect herein] lies some semblance of an ongoing truth of consequence, no? 

Bob Geldof wrote a jangly lil’ tongue-in-cheek ditty that went something like this:

[Again, Mick, ...no music provided; you’ll have to take pic to string mate.]

End of the World (© Bob Geldof)

[Just backy-forthy b’tween the C & G]

              C                                    G

Though it strikes you as seeming a little absurd

                                     C

I'm here to announce the end of the world

It'll happen sometime between now and high noon

It doesn't give you much time as it's happening real soon

It'll start with a whimper, it'll end with a bang

It'll leave a big hole where we could have sang

This is the end

The end of the world

For five thousand years

You must surely have heard

Nostradamus and Jesus and Buddah and me

We said it was coming

Now just wait and see

So everyone outside look up at the sky

It's the last time you'll see it so wave it goodbye

You took it for granted, you thought it was free

Say goodbye to the leaves, the trees, and the sea

There's nothing more useless than a car that won't start

But it's even more useless at the end of the world

This is the end ...
