After the Apocalypse, Please Water My Plant

This morning I looked up at the sky 
and it was abruptly rent in twain 
So I casually watered my new bonsai
and cast away all my pointless frets
I sat back in my seat and lit a cigarette
I sang a hymn and hummed its refrain
I felt like a dangling marionette
And all at once, life was simplified

Very simplified, great little poem! I'll water your plant, but I doubt if I will live long enough to :)
