BIT THE THIRD
Morning slowly turned to lunch and things had settled down
'Twas Arthur's role to squelch as he lay on the muddy ground
Demanding every now and then for some strange thing or other
Such as for a good book or his lawyer or his mother.
'Twas Prosser's role meantime to lecture Arthur on the good
Of building a new bypass, and therefore why he should
Get off the ground, and get a life, and bid his house goodbye
Wait for the bypass to be built, then watch the cars pass by.
Just about then, Ford came by and stared down at his friend.
"Hello, Arthur. Busy? 'Cause the world's about to end."
"No, not really," Arthur said, voice dripping with sarcasm
He gave a squelch down in the mud and this line doesn't rhyme.
"There's just all these bulldozers and stuff that I've got to block
"For if I move, ol' Prosser here would then proceed to knock
"My house down. So yes, I'm quite free, why do you want to know?"
Prefect remained unperturbed. "Because we've got to go."
"Where?" "To the pub." "Whatever for?" "The world's about to end."
The logic there, poor Arthur Dent could just not comprehend.
The pub was where you purchased drinks, most likely alcohol
He couldn't see how being drunk would help the world at all.
Ford and Prosser struck a deal, one based on messed up sense
Since Prosser wanted Arthur gone, Ford would help dispense
His friend off to the pub, and in return Prosser would lie
Down in the mud in Arthur's place, and watch the clouds float by.
The pub was where Ford then revealed the truth of his existence
Arthur Dent accepted it with marvellous low resistance
Learning that his best friend was an alien from Out There
Just did not affect him much, and all he did was stare.
It had to be a Thursday, Arthur reasoned in his mind
He'd never got the hang of 'em. But Arthur was to find
His day about to get a whole lot stranger very soon
Thus making this a seriously peculiar afternoon.

Thanks once again to HyperCaz (Okay, more is being posted), Demus (dodgy rhyming? According to my friend, it was the rhythm that was dodgy), MOQ (nope, both sound like shun), Ariana the musical genius (thanks for reviewing!), evilphrog (yeah, I'm pretty sure it's blood too, but blud sounds funnier), Deranged Lunatic (hope it's longer now), IT (heheh. ;p Okay, more here) and get hi on life (here you go.) for reviewing. ;D
