PAD 25-3 exaggeration

 Saving the World


The world was coming to an end.

I went deaf as I ignored the phone.

It rang a thousand times

as I worked myself to the bone.

 

Sorting a million wires

that were stored in a thousand boxes.

It looked like a mastermind puzzle

twisted by sly, old foxes.

 

As the time bomb ticked away,

I somehow got a hunch.

The world could wait for later.

I was starving for some lunch.
