                                    Hickory-Doomsday Clock

                                       Analogue or Digital?

That Doomsday Clock has ticked since 1947
The sweep hand always dancing on the edge of doom
Sometimes a missile more (7, 6, 5, 4…
Sometimes a virus less (a jab, I guess)

I’ve been thinking of buying me one
Maybe from the times-table at Wal-Mart
Or as a timeless fashion from Amazon
I want to know the hour we’re going to die

But are we truly any closer to Heaven?
