Today's Zelda's Inferno exercise: writing from a goofy rhyming wordlist. This was fun. The list:

dense, fence, pretense, Chincoteague, Grieg, blitzkrieg, wampumpeag, resign, align, divine, bill cosby, autopsy, dropsy, biopsy, necropsy, bumblebee, nominee, divorcee, android, unalloyed, hemorrhoids, asteroid, unalloyed, bookend, unbend, offend, transcend, floundering, boundering, foundering, dumbfounding, granite, planet, pomegranate, sandpit, dribble, nibbles, scribbles, kibbles, apocalypse, eclipse, tidytips, fish and chips

handy tips for the apocalypse:

if thoughts of destruction are dumbfounding
heed this advice to keep from floundering:

when the earth is hit by the asteroid
it won't matter if you're man or android

'cause when it hits it'll crush the planet
like a rotten pomegranate

goodbye to poets and their scribbles
farewell to dogs who dine on kibble

useless to pray for intervention divine
to the facts you must become resigned

there won't be enough for Bill Cosby
to perform an autopsy

so enjoy existence here and now
because one day - boom! crash! pow!

With these words I don't mean to offend;
Just want you to be ready to face the end.

Burma shave.
