The world is ending!
the bells are tolling
the roof is on fire
the sky is falling
such is mayhem wrought
when rumor mongers come calling
Times of hardship
they are bitter enough
without the pinch
of rumor’s spice
why stoke the fire of fear
when the flame of truth may suffice?
For if not this
thus forced, we are
in believing every fable to be true
then here be dragons, there be dragons
and nary a harbor for me and you
