Countdown To Happy New Year

Countdown To Happy New Year

A countdown has been set,

To crumble the world till 'The End',

Ten minutes to go,

And all have got the blow.

Nine minutes to the end,

And no way to mend,

Eight minutes and the bomb will blow,

And all will become a mere dough.

Seven minutes to go,

And nothing to do,

Six minutes and everything will shatter,

Fear increases when the rain stops to chatter.

Five, four, three, two, one lessens,

And nothing happens,

Has it been stopped?

Or the bomb has just flopped.

There came a big pop,

And a banner went up with a hop,

I tried to read what was written,

And saw Happy New Year brighten.

The sight was beautiful,

Everyone seemed very gleeful,

I will never forget this New Year,

I swear! I swear! I swear!
