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
