What If I Told You

What if I told you the end was nigh Would you take it as fiction or fact? If there in the dark, waiting I lie Would you think my faculties in tact Or join me in wondering why What if I said I can see what's to come Would you think me a prophet or fraud That I know all? Or a small bit of some Cursed with a touch of the odd Offbeat to my own silly drum What if I regailed you with stories of yore Would you assume me a foolish liar? And entertaining these tales a chore Or maybe a chance in advance your retire You'd consider I had been there before
