Woops, He Miscalculated
Woops, He Miscalculated
By Elton Camp
It was quite a stir the reverend did begin
He named the date the world would end
However, the time he set came and went
And of some “rapture” there wasn’t a hint
Now he says he missed it only by a bit
And that October twenty-first sure is it
You’d think he’d learn from his mistake
And not such specific predictions make
The very book that he thumps so loud
Says such exact knowledge’s not allowed
But since the end of times he does now stall
I guess I’ll have to go mow the yard after all
