It's Gonna Happen, Might As Well Have a Laugh

Speculations abound, on the news and Internet. Doomsday prophecies, when the planets alignments set. But I have my theories, that I will share with you, might as well accept it, there's nothing you can do. Twenty-twelve is coming, that is a simple fact. Just sit back and read along, have yourself a laugh. I believe on that day: That those aliens, that abducted Elvis, to be their king, will bring him back to us. Their ship will land on the White House Lawn, a whole lotta shakin', will be goin' on. I believe on that day: Man will find chocolate is a miracle drug. They'll melt it down and use it, as synthetic blood. Saving the lives of thousands of women on the verge. They will find that P.M.S., finally is cured. I believe on this day: Jerry Springer will announce his intent, to run in the next election to be our President. He has a sure fire way, to end all the wars, let the leaders fight it out on his shows stage floor. I believe on that day: All manner of nonsense will ensue. I don't think it is a day, that we will come to rue. Bets in Vegas will still be laid, our next payday, we will still want paid. The Earth will turn upon it's axis, there will still be, death and taxes. No. 2012, should not be feared. But, I have my seat reserved, on the next ship outta here. For the contest: 2012 Hosted by Gareth James Placement: 1st

You have a fantastic since of humor and I love the way you used it to describe such a silly conflict between so many philosophers. Thanks for making me smile!
