"It's the end of the world as we know it - time I had some time alone"
Poetry form: Lyricku - While this is truly a Monoku, this is the second instance of me using a lyric line from a well-known song for my Monoku. So, I am designating this particular form of Monoku as a Lyricku - a type of Monoku that is made up of a single horizontal line consisting of seventeen syllables or less, in addition to being a lyric line from a well-known song. (I have a poetic license that allows me to get away with stuff like this from time to time. Just sayin'...)
