Decsissions - Decsissions Poem by Bernard Franklin

If the world was to end,
with just four minutes to run.
Would you spend your last seconds,
in sadness or fun? .
You could shower or bathe,
and so be clean at the end.
You could mow your front lawn,
if your right round the bend! .
You could write out a bank cheque,
for ten million quid,
It’ll probably bounce,
but it’s the last thing you did.
You could make love to your partner,
but that leaves two minutes to spare.
So you could shave off your beard,
then the rest of your hair.
You could order a pizza,
to be delivered from Rome.
Then book up a concorde,
to fly it back home! .
You could say all your sorries,
to the people you’ve hurt.
You could be civil for once,
and not callous or curt.
You could pray to your maker,
to forgive all your sins.
Or you could hoover the house,
and then empty the bins! .
At the end of the day,
how would your time have been spent?
it wouldn’t matter if you’d lived,
in a palace or a tent.
For we all exit the world,
the same way we came in.
The only difference between us,
the size of our sin!
