"Guys! there is a quiz
down the local tonight.
It's one of those new fangled
smartphone quizzes.
Where you use your phone,
trying to get the answers right,
should be a bit of a laugh.
and we can sink a few drinks"
War excitedly beams
"Ooh let's do it,
I’m itching to get out"
Pestilence shouts
"I'm in" says Famine "Can I bring Dave?"
"The more the merrier" War exclaimed.
"So be it, let's slaughter the opposition,
Lay waste to the other teams"
LATER IN THE PUB
"Hic, so we are just behind the top team. Last round. Come on team." War rallies the troops
A little later the quiz host speaks,
"The last question of the night
and its tight,
neck and neck between,
Our two top teams
'let's get quizzical' and
'We thought this was the apocalypse,
turns out it was a pub quiz'
So, onto the last question
In the book of revelation
how many times is the number 7 used not including repeats"
Death shrieks
"YESS. This is our question,
quick think.
Seals, stars, trumpets"
"Time is running out."
"It's 42 I'm certain"
Death grinned which was very disconcerting.
"The answer is 49, let’s get quizzical win todays quiz"
Death pulls a work manual from under his gown,
Finger passing every line,
and then upon bony face a frown.
"Ah shit.
I forgot the candlesticks"
"Ooh guys it's karaoke next week!"
