HEY HO

Oh no

So

The world is ending tomorrow you say

Should I nip to the shops today

And get some essentials?

You know, like cider vinegar and lentils

Because when they find our corpses they will see

Upon autopsy

We had eaten well

As far as they could tell

Don't you think?

A mumbled reply was uttered;

Of course no battered mars bars for us, just nutrition

Although healthy or not we will still be in the prone position

Our bodies maybe a temple

Full of goodness but when yer dead, yer dead, simple
