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"
