Trust Me

In the name of all that's quite insane
I come to you today,
To say the planet's final hours
Are only days away!

But don't be worried, I've a plan
To keep you safe and whole.
I guarantee that you'll be fine;
You're welfare is my goal.

There's just a little detail first
To secure your life to be;
Just gather up your valuables,
And ship them all to me.

I know you're thinking, "What a scam!"
But trust me, I know best!
Do you really want to take a chance,
And be lost with all the rest?

Just close your eyes and sit right down,
There's nothing more to see,
And while you wait for your new life,
Tahiti waits for me!
