I could use an asteroid
Now, I must worry about asteroids
Iron are worse, than stone
I better get a magnet
Now, I gotta worry about cars
Sticking, entirely, to my pocket
Think you've got problems, this big
Nanotechnology may go awry
Machines gobbling humanity
What about snakebite, in the wild
Someathing like this, concern you
Fretting for days
I could use an asteroid
