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.

Indeed, John, that is so true. But, I'm not a big fan of the practice myself.

Indeed, Robert. And, not every regional war will become World War III or the end of the world, either.

Thanks, Jeff. They just seemed to come naturally. I like them that way, but never when they are contrived or made up.
