Floors coated in newspaper
paint tins standing by,
under the torn wallpaper,
something caught my eye.
Ancient text long forgotten,
the message read clear.
Jesus waz ere, twenty-ten,
then, a sudden fear.
If this tag was genuine,
second coming gone,
there must be a redesign,
a third coming on.
Now, how can I benefit
Yes, I think I know,
The answer is evident:
make a Netflix show
The Third Coming, descends upon Netflix early 2021

I don’t have enough time these days to write prose, let alone hard poetry, but I enjoy yours. The discipline of meter and rhyme is commendable.

Thank you.
I understand, completely. It’s hard to find time these days.
I like trying new things. I remind myself often, succeed or fail, this is all in the name of fun.

Thank you.
Don’t worry I don’t think Netflix will pick up a pilot for a show based off one of my silly poems 😉
