When
that asteroid hits Earth's got sixty seconds left
What
will I do before my final breath?
I
could dial 123 and hear the moments tick by
Give
transcendental meditation one last try
Hold
all appointments that I've booked
Eat
a boiled egg that's one-third cooked
I
could count from one to ten six times
Think
of a better rhyme for this line
Fry
a minute steak but not have time to eat it
Shout
“WE'RE ALL DOOMED” and repeat it and repeat it
Name
every single Shakespeare play and sonnet
On
my Facebook wall write `R.I.P.' upon it
Rob
Barclays Bank of a million pounds in cash
Vacuum
the house and put out the trash
Check
my medicine cabinet for suicide pills
Be
sure not to pay any red gas bills
Consume
all the contents of my fridge freezer
Apart
from the anchovies on the pizza
Repent
my sins and find religion
Cancel
my milk and Hello Magazine subscription
Sort
my last will and testament and get my life in order
Play
`It's the End of the World as We Know It' on recorder
Build
a TARDIS and escape to a distant planet
Say
“goodbye” to my mates, Dave, Fred, Sue, Kev and Janet
Check
my life insurance offers adequate protection
Pin
my very last hopes on mankind's resurrection
Recite
this poem exceedingly fast
Knowing
all too well it will be my last
So
many scary scenarios spinning round in my head
Forget
it – I'll just go back to bed
