Apocalyptica : i got 99 problems

 

 


Death sat twiddling his thumbs.

 

"Mate can you stop that, it's making a horrible scraping sound, like grinding teeth."

Conquest expressed

 

"Sorry I'm just so bored and glum"

Death glanced at the mourning clock hands, little scythe for a pendulum.

 

"Tell you what, let's go for a walk,

could be fun

A trip around the park

feed the ducks, get some sun"

 

"I'll get my cloak, but I don't think I'll enjoy it."

 

A little later.

 

"Ohh there's an ice cream van.

Come on man

let's grab one whilst we can.

I'll have a 99"

Death smiled,

well, he kind of just shifted his jawline.

 

"Hmm I guess I'll have a rocket lolly"

War said feeling rather jolly

 

"Make mine a feast"

famine drooled

as her hunger increased

 

"Meow" daisy said.

Translated

"What fools,

we have more pressing

matters at hand,

The end of the world

must be planned"

 

"Woof" yapped Dog,

"Why do they keep throwing my ball away?"

 

Pestilence sat under a tree

collecting moulds and fungi

"It's quite nice sitting

under the sun in the sky"

 

Conquest had just taken over

the picnic area,

and was fortifying it

with some well-placed barb wire.

A booming voice echoed

like an otherworldly town crier.

Heard only by the horsepeople.

"Don't you have work

that needs to be done,

I don't pay you to have fun"
