A Poem About Someone

I’ll love you till the earth goes dry

Or even longer if that happens soon

I’ll love you till the rubber degrades

On a non-biodegradable rubber balloon

I’ll love you till the blue whale’s no longer

The largest animal on the earth

I’ll love you till they develop a way

For Dyson hand-dryers to give birth

I’ll love you till the last member

Of S Club 7 is dead

I’ll love you till the planet’s ruled

By a giant evil head

I’ll love you till up is down

Black is white and right is wrong

I’ll love you till SNL airs a sketch

That doesn’t go too long

I’ll love you till the land bridge to Asia

Re-emerges from the sea

I’ll love you till the Liberal National Coalition government of Australia

Once again makes education free

I’ll love you till I’m all used up

I’ll love you till I drop

I’ll love you till I’m hollowed out

I’ll love you till I stop
