Message In a Bottle
For many years we were told
Our world was going to end
Someone found a Mayan calendar
Destruction is around the bend.
I decided I would leave behind
A note to explain this and that
Of how our race got started
How we begot and begat.
I put a note in a bottle
Pushed the cork down tight
Hoping someone in the future
Knew how to read my write.
I gave it a lot of thought
Where to put this special note
I found a tree near the river
On its bank, an ancient boat.
Being I’m so curious
I looked into this craft
I found a large flat rock
Tied to a seat near the aft.
It had very strange markings
I could not make them out
I took it to a museum
To see what it was about.
The curator studied it
He laughed and finally said
If I read these ‘glyphics right
Those from our past are dead.
I’m sorry, he snickered...
But, there is something here I see
“It says: For years we were told
Soon our world will no longer be.
A Craftsman scribed a calendar
Destruction is around the bend.
I decided to leave a note
Before it came to an end.
Now it’s five years later
And I am still around
So I tied a vine to this note and boat
To anchor it safe and sound."

What goes around...Comes Around...
Old news tomorrow,
was new news,
the day before yesterday!
