Death By Asteroid

It's coming to your planet from out there Sooner if you watch the news channel first 2006 QV89  is alive and well and almost here It can't wait to kill you on September 10th. Most likely you could lose an eye or tooth Not civilization as you know it Coroners and vehicles line up to size you up Is it bigger than a bus or truck? Is it larger than a soccer field in Argentina? Reporters want to cover asteroids in space But they are way too busy watching Trump Hemorrhoids will have to do If only I watched less news reports If only I were born on Mars I'm too young to die by meteors Like taxes they should be avoided Can I add rock impacts to my insurance? Is there life after asteroids? *Authors note: There is a less than 99% chance of this asteroid hitting Earth. There is a less than .01% chance of it hitting a populated area. 2006 QV89 comes up on a "probability list" so the news media needs some filler so they rattle some cages and torture small animals (That would be us.) Can I buy Fake News insurance?

Good morning Maureen, I'm never leaving the house again without some kind of coverage. I can't afford insurance. I wonder where I put my asteroid umbrella? You never know what's going to fall from the sky, (including sky.) Have a wonderful day. Try to stay inside. It's safer. Earl
