What’s Next

I got tired of staying at home and I hitched a ride on a comet.

I said, “Where are we going?”

The comet said, “To the end of the universe.”

We rode together till we reached a wall and sign that said, “Under Construction.”

I said, “What’s on the other side of the wall?”

The comet said, “The future.”

I said, “I wonder what it will be.”

The comet said, “Just another day.”

The comet and I opened a picnic basket and had lunch. We ate and then waited.
