The End of the World is Nigh!

The world was meant to end today
So I just carried on with life!
I took a walk with my friend and we
Connected on lots of our favourite
Subjects, and empathised our way
Through surviving the, Silly Season.
We looked from the top of hills to
Misty sunlit valleys, to lines of trees,
Gateways to miles of green, and in
The midst of this green ocean we
Find the spire in the distance, a
Landmark for our focus till we are
Lost again in thoughts and ideas
Looking for reasons, for rubber
Stamps, through History and in
Our present lives.
And the walk continues but the friend
Changes and this time I am stomping
My way through muddy fields with friend
And dog. Resting on gates to stare at the
Funny faces of sheep who stare back and
Stomp in indignant pose. Piglets squeal and
Fight for the trough, ponies bathe in muddy
Pools celebrating the recent rains and water
Logged fields. A strange huddle of donkey,
Sheep and horse like missing characters from
Nativity and I am Iiking the squelch of my boots,
The balancing along edges of paths to avoid a
Complete plunge into quagmire.
And my friend sings with familiar oblivion and I
Want to remember!
The World was meant to end today
So I just carried on with life.

Hi Anna,
I'm going to wait until one minute after
midnight, but must admit, I'm getting
incredibly bored. The Earth's not moving
for me today ..... maybe an early night
methinks ................ yawn ....
Oh - by the way - like it!!
Tommy

The World was meant to end today
So I just carried on with life.
As did most of us. :)
I can remember as a child the world was ending. I'm fifty-nine years old now.
A woman I worked with was insistent in 1989 that this is it!!! This is the end!!! "Tim, you'll see."
Well, then I survived that end and made my way through to 1996 where yet another oh whoa it's the end of the world for sure this year because really, "it's in the Bible". Now here I am typing a response to yet another very enjoyable poem from the Awesome Anna in 2012.
You just keep getting better and better, do you not? It really sounded like a great place to be. I hated to see it.....(wait for it) ... end.
Thank you very much.
