Global devastation
Will be a big sensation.
You'd be wise to buy into some popular tabloid.
Sales could reach highs
Like Lady Di's demise
When we're hit by an asteroid.
Remember in any cataclysm
Fortunes can be made through opportunism.
Corner the market on cosmic dust;
You'll see it isn't hard.
With luck ground zero
Will be your backyard.
Mega-tons of ashes
And record Wall Street crashes
Say "Sell your stocks today" because you'll soon be unemployed.
Then retire well-to-do
To your brand-new ocean view
When we're hit by an aster-
Money-making disaster
When we're hit by an asteroid.
