L Milton Hankins Poet Monorhyme

Jumping To Conclusions

A comet blazed across the evening sky
Soothsayers took up Armageddon’s cry
Suddenly the whole world went awry,
Hordes of people thought they’d die
More reasonable people gave it a try
But some said science does not apply,
And I, I gave up with a disgusting sigh.

Caren Krutsinger March 3, 2022 at 8:53 AM I am also ready to give a disgusting sigh. L Milton Hankins March 3, 2022 at 9:28 AM So, what else can we reasonable folk do?

John Lawless March 2, 2022 at 3:09 PM HEY!!! Don't knock it Milton, jumping to conclusions is the only exercise some people get..... L Milton Hankins March 2, 2022 at 7:22 PM Indeed, John, that is so true. But, I'm not a big fan of the practice myself.

Robert Gorelick March 2, 2022 at 11:51 AM Sometimes a comet is just a comet! enjoyed...Robert L Milton Hankins March 2, 2022 at 12:48 PM Indeed, Robert. And, not every regional war will become World War III or the end of the world, either.

Jeff Kyser March 2, 2022 at 11:49 AM Nice one - I like these monorhymes! L Milton Hankins March 2, 2022 at 12:49 PM Thanks, Jeff. They just seemed to come naturally. I like them that way, but never when they are contrived or made up.
