The Day The World Ended Poem by Clyde King

The Day The World Ended



The world ends today
On Sunday, the eighth of May.

Should I let them know?
Would it spoil their day?

Would they just get up
And walk away?

No, no, that won't do.
The hours left are just a few!

Tans would be ruined.
The beer would get warm.

What bad taste.
Such poor form.

The azure sea, the cerulean sky,
Would curse a man as heartless as I.

May 1988
