Rapture of May 21st, 2011

"It is the end of the world", they cry
"Those not saved will surely die!"
   Never mind the fun fact
   Previous dates inexact
Get the marshmallows out for the fry!

Thanks, Catie! I saw a news story the other day and was just giggling. Every year there seems to be a new "rapture" date :)

Thank you, Elton. It was a limerick that came about after reading about the latest "rapture" date. I'm always chuckling when I hear about them :) I appreciate you stopping by to read it :)

Nicely written and quite humorous. In the country area where I live, I sometimes see a bumper sticker reading, "In case of rapture, this vehicle will become driverless." It always reminds me of Jesus' comment about the Pharisees who he rebuked for "declaring themselves righteous." Elton
