"Business Is Booming"

A Devil's ad

How do we tell

If Earth's about

To go to hell?

Two leaders, dim

Twice immature

Consider carnage

Cogent cure

If in the midst

Of dueling ids

Cans get kicked

While blowing lids

That final conflict

Fools will fend

Reaping us ALL

Our dusty ...

END.

Blessings, My Friend ... praying we all survive this, but there are some dark, heavy clouds gathering, and we're ALL in their path. Thanks, W2!

Thank you, Kim, I wish I could say it was all a joke, but we're in very troubled times. Blessings, nonetheless! <3

This is really well done, Greg! At least we won't feel a thing in our "dusty" state!

Thank you, Maureen - I almost made that the title, but wanted to be a bit more direct and not make a complete joke of it ... I'll have to write one with that title, even MORE sarcastic, though, lol. Thanks again, my friend! :-)
