– By the sea, by the beach,,,
funk city, express yourself city…
– Talk the talk,
walk the boardwalk,
sip latte at the Rose Cafe…
let your mind serve,
a 30-day stretch,
in the old jail…
– Wednesday night alert!
A pride of poets is congregating

Please update all databanks:
Time adjustment to the Final Event is as follows:
The 9.2 temblor will hit Los Angeles at 8:22 p.m.,
NOT 8:21 p.m. as had been previously announced.
As for the most often-asked question,
When California is swallowed by the Pacific Ocean,
how high will the tsunami get?
And to answer that, we switch to Dan Rather,
at Armageddon Central…
‘Hello… this is Dan Rather…
the End of the World is brought to you by
Toyota!’
