Final Countdown

When times runs out.

Hurry! Hurry!
We're running out of time -
The candles are
Lit and the
Smoke is rising from their tops.
The lights are
Out.
Donut batter is smeared
On the fryer, in the
kitchen;
It cannot be helped right now.
Please don't
Let
There be a glitch in the timing.
Some woman's
Purse is hastily hidden before
The surprise party
begins.
