Notes About The Poem

My Mom is 91yrs young and has been telling me all my life where the world was headed and still is...... !

Warning Do Not Read Before Breakfast

A tisket a tasket
The world  is in a basket
And as far as I can tell
It's on the road that leads to Hell


"Come-on man, you gotta laugh !"

Your mum is a wise woman - she is quite right - I love your short poem - it describes this world exactly as it is at present. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

G’day Jerry … crikey Jerry, at times I think hell is on earth, but your Mum is quite right; we’re on the path of destruction - thanks Jerry - Lindsay

Everything seems strange right now, Jerry. Perhaps we can see a light at the end of the tunnel, but some friends feel we're headed for Judgment Day. Hard to argue with them. Your mother sounds like a wise woman! Enjoyed the humor, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn
