One Day In Hell
Ever thought how long one day in hell would be?
Ill try to break it down, mmmmmm, let me see.
Ok, there’s this little worm about three inches long,
Feeble little thing not very strong
Well the worm would set out on a journey
From North America down to the South
It is very slow moving as it pulls itself along
Just by the top lip of its mouth.
In Earth terms, it would take him
Ten thousand years three weeks and a day
Just to mate with his faithful female for two seconds
Then head back the other way
In his lifetime, he’ll make the journey
Four million times to mate
Although he is slow moving
He never gets sick and is never late
When he returns home from his four millionth journey
He dies and has done well
This ladies and Gentleman
Is equivalent just one day in hell.
