Some Surefire Predictions for 2011

I predict!  I’ll state it here,

I see the future, clear as glass

that, within the coming year

the following will come to pass

First, more snow, and it will get colder

a blanket of white will cover the ground

everyone will get one year older

as the world spins once around

There will be carnage on the roads

hidden ice will claim some lives

especially the lives of those

who like to say they are good drivers

In the spring, there will be flooding

waters rising, far and near

but the flowers will be budding

just like they do every year

A mighty man will pass away

who ruled his land with iron fist

maybe even two or three

there’s quite a few upon that list

the internet will grow and grow

our need for more and more connection

will take us past what we now know

in a couple new directions

Stars will burst upon the scene

and they will make a lot of money

on the stage and on the screen

and brand new comedians will be funny

A plane will fall down from the sky

before it reaches its destination

every one on board will die

its a lousy way to start a vacation

Starting around July or August

Hurricanes will slam the coast

and those who can’t afford to leave

will be the ones who suffer most

Almost all politicians will lie

and preachers, of course, will preach

the best of the students will study

and teachers will try to teach

It will be a year of sadness and pain

but also of love and joy

Boys will fall in love with girls

and girls in love with boys

They’ll walk on the beach at sunset

enjoy the evening breeze

and then, the autumn breeze will blow

the leaves down from the trees

The world isn’t going to end this year,

or the next to come along

I am so convinced of this

you can sue me if I’m wrong
