The Last Mayan Calendar
By Michele Heeney

Those amusing
Little Mayans
They sure have
A sense of humor
To start this crazy,
Grand—
This extraordinary
Rumor.
Now we’re
All running scared
While they just
Wink and grin,
Don’t be a Chicken Little
The sky’s not
Falling in.
Don’t fret my friend
The world’s not coming to an end—
    They just stopped making calendars.
