Alas we live <br />continually in the past <br /> <br />sunlight taking <br />a good 8 minutes to get to us <br /> <br />across those long lonely galatic reaches <br />to smile upon us little creatures. <br /> <br />That big old fat sun <br />(though really realatively young) <br /> <br />our friendly familiar <br />yellow hydrogen bomb <br /> <br />is doomed... <br />....doomed to go bust <br /> <br />in just <br />another mere 5 billion years or so. <br /> <br />And so, being a sensible man <br />I am determined to get as much sun as I can <br /> <br />cancer be damed! <br /> <br />And so <br />I brown form head to toe <br />whilst drinking copious Campari & So...so...soda. <br /> <br />Staying perfectly calm <br />& perfectly pissed <br /> <br />enjoying the sun <br />or what's left of it.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bring-me-sunshine-for-my-old-pal-al/
