Today started like any other day
Got up
Took my morning constitution
With full amendments and resolutions
Had some yummy cereal
Then sat down and rubbed my tummy for awhile
I went outside
To take care of some things
When to my surprise
I began to rise
As if I had wings
Suddenly, I remembered
Today was May 21st
This must be the rapture!
I was fit to be burst
As I cleared the trees
I saw others rising too
We were all going to heaven!
If I were on the ground
I'd have dropped to my knees
Up and up we went
The whole lot of us
Some of us happy
Some scared and full of mistrust
But then
Something strange happened
No stranger than rising in the first place
But strange, just the same
We all started to go back down
Slowly, gently
Back to the earth
Where we belonged evidently
Finally, my feet were back on the ground
I wandered around
And tried to talk to others
But they wouldn't make a sound
It didn't come out
What had happened
Until the afternoon
And it was true without a doubt
Gravity had reversed itself
But only for humans
We all rose up for a bit
But then gravity corrected itself
And we all came back down
The gravity coming back
Oh so gently
Sound ridiculous, you say?
Well I'll take that gravity scenario
Over some fool predicting the Rapture
Any old day
