The Great Event

It's going to happen very soon The great event which will end the horror Which will end the sorrow Next Tuesday, when the sun goes down I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge into suffering For the last 200 million years What a lovely night that would be What a sigh of relief As the senile robins become bright red again And the retired nightingales Pick up their dusty tails And assert the majesty of creation!
