“Flash! World is eomta? to <m end. All major scientists agree. Chain disintegration found Rocking depths of Tasman sea .. .** This newe~-though barely breathed at first — Was checked, then bulletined abroad And read &y millions who were crazed, Hysterical, numbed, deeply awe A for parents it was worst of gU: How could they tell their children, who Would never have a life to live, Which are the virtuous things to'dof • • • In Indiana lived a wife Whose youngsters just six and seven. She soothed their fears with tales of how They all would have great fun in heaven. So Joyce and Jerry laughed again Despite the neighbors’ hushed laments; For children catch excitement from The prospect of unknown events. And as tha Christmas season neared * Large packages were tuclced witlf care — Well after bedtime—on the shelf 1 Inside the closet by the stair. * * * ' i-— ■ Right after church on Christmas Eve \ Their daddy whispered: “Let’s not wait. Let’s let them have their presents now. Tomorrow it may be too late." The mother nodded and exclaimed, “Children, off to bed you go! Upstairs you bustle, right away. i For Santa comes tonight, you know.” And while the tots scrubbed faces clegn " And donned pajamas warm and soft, 1 Dad lit the tree and mommy tugged ' The gifts down from the closet loft.
