BTW: The winner of The Poetry Lottery #3 was Dan Garcia-Black! Here is his poem...
Wrong Number
Gasoline burns hotter than hell
And using it causes climate change
There are plenty of signs that
Earth is preparing humanity for an
Extinction level event
In the bible there's a revelation
That warns about the apocalypse
I look at today's gas prices
$6.06 per gallon
It's getting close to $6.66
Then it will be too late to prep
The anti-Christ will push the pedal
To the metal with the ghost of Lemmy
Riding shotgun
And all Hell will break loose like
An obese woman's spandex
After midnight on a shopping trip
For a large pair of crotchless panties
At the local Wal-Mart Superstore.
Amen.
