They say
don’t bet on that
it’ll never happen
yeah, unfortunately

They tally the odds in their head then say
“It’s a long-shot”

They said it about a horse
They’ve said it about the president
They say it about me

I just put my ear plugs in
and aim my rifle
but before I shoot I say

“Is it still a long shot?”

and they’ll scream

“Yup!”

“Too bad”
I say
and I take my shot

(I don’t know if I hit my target)

“suppose I have a better chance than humanity
cropping up in all this chaos”
