If The Worst Comes To The Worst

What's shining can come to rust Love is fragile and so is trust Joy's bubbles can quickly burst Be ready if the worst comes to the worst. The dearest pal can turn enemy The inconspicuous can turn deadly From dead wood can new flame burst Be ready if the worst comes to the worst. What seems close may not be near It may not mean what you seem to hear They all ain't good for which you lust Be ready if the worst comes to the worst. Words may sound sweet and sugary It can sting the little honey bee Money is slowest when you need it fast Be ready if the worst comes to the worst. Happiness is elusive and so is peace Won't ever come the chances you miss In the no air zone the wind can gust Be ready if the worst comes to the worst. The sharpest arms may turn out blunt It's not always the way you want The biggest empire may turn to dust Be ready if the worst comes to the worst. Often so fallible what looks the best Crumbles like ruins in life's acid test But you shouldn't despair, hope you must, Be ready if the worst comes to the worst.
