If You Think the World Will End December 21st

If You Think the World Will 
End on December 21st

By Elton Camp

You have good reason for panic and fright
After all, the Mayas very well may be right

Money & jewels will be valueless on that day
So it’s sensible for you to give them all away

If you do, then you will be able to travel light
And to find a way to survive, you just might

Although your riches will be a hindrance to me
Send them along and I’ll accept them for free

Anyone out there who’s a believer true
There’s good reason that this you’ll do 

So if you hope to survive the coming mess
Please contact me for the mailing address

Since this world so soon will be no more
Make sure they arrive here the day before

Thanks. I have to wonder what I'd do if somebody contacted me and wanted to send their stuff. The laugh would be on me then. Elton
