The Putter-Togetherer's Song
Half of those who default
to apocalyptic modes of thought
are earnestly in such distress
that only in destruction
can they find hope.
The other half are sadists---nonetheless,
either side's to be advised:
like wrapping gifts or drinking tea,
there is an art to keeping candles lit.
Trimmed wicks make for cleaner burns
and would you want smoke to get in your eyes
when the bridegroom finally calls?
