Okay, So It’s the
End of the World
“What
do ties matter, Jeeves, at a time like this?”
“There
is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.”
-P. G. Wodehouse
Okay, so what if this is the end of our world
Windblown sands where Ozymandias once ruled
Or dying like Charn in The Magician’s Nephew
Pale and sere under a fading red sun
Let us not meet it pajama’d on a couch
Videogaming upon a telescreen
And suddenly marveling that the power has failed
As a moving hand writes across the skies
If the world is going to end today
Let us dress properly for the occasion
