Message In a Bottle

I write this note and place it, in my favourite bottle of wine I sealed that top so tight then I wrapped it with waxed twine The world is gonna end be it by mans hand or Gods I maybe should have been more careful on all the toes I trod. So if there are survivors, after doomsday does arrive I’d like to leave advice on how one can survive. Eat plenty of fiber, they tell you it's good to have each day Five kinds of fruit and vegetables and you’ll always be ready to play. Red wine is good for you one day, but the next it will kill you dead They never talked of white wine, so I’d stick to that instead. Duck and cover if you see a mushroom growing in the sky They told us they disarmed them, but I think that they did lie. Never go to bed angry with the one who is with you So change them each day and then he won’t get angry too. Don’t try to burn the candle at both ends at the same time You’ll find it will burn the house down and that will be a crime. When you wake with aches and pains it is because you're getting old So the end of the world may not be bad, or that’s what I am told So remember if you read this and you are to start the race anew Remember life can be a b***h, you don’t want to marry one too. When I popped the note in this bottle I left you the wine to drink So go forth and multiply and forget about the missing link Then think on this point, I obviously didn't make it through So throw the rules away and just do what you have to do. © ~GG~23/12/2012 It was going to be an entry in the contest but I realise I haven't' followed the rules
