I sit here,
Like a beetle on its back,
In a crack of its own design,
Crafting its own demise,
Frantically flailing,
Panicking mainlyβ€”

...until Chad rolls by on an electric scooter.

"Oi, mate!" he shouts,
Toblerone crumbs on his shirt,
flipping me right-side up with a casual shove.
Life isn't death's right-hand man anymore;
it's Chad's co-pilot, cruising on mismatched wheels.

The universe? Doesn't listen to "enough is enough,"
but apparently, it does respond to
"******, this beetle's stuffed!"

Yeah, mate. Guess this in’t the end.
Not with Chad around.
