Sinkholes

Been thinkin about them sinkholes They seem to pop up everywhere (or is it pop down?) well, either way they scare Brings to mind the ending times some folks like to talk about, claiming to be on the right side of, boy, they like to shout! Maybe the big guy is just practicing maybe he’s just trying to find the most dramatic way of all to impress the “left behind”

I think I might be one of those left behind. So what happens next?

We have our shares of sinkholes too. In the spring some are so big you could take a day trip inside one and set up a concession stand for the others who fell into it! Thanks for the stop by. / M

John: I don't know your religious preference or if you have one, but this work contains more theology than you may have intended. Keep them coming and continue looking up. It will be sooner than many think. oldbuck

Well done, and I like works that are more about the mundane everyday and less existential or about love. So I absolutely love this :)

Lol, to impress the "left behind!" (Literally!) Funny one John!:) Must be a lot of underground caves in Florida, the sinkhole state! :)

Is Florida really known as the "sinkhole state?" Quite a distinction. Glad you got some chucklers. huggamuggas ~ j

This pleases me! You know, I just realized this little ditty is quite "ilene baueresque" — it's structure is very similar to one of your PO's. Wow, POsmosis! Lotsa latkes! ~ j
