The end of the world

Well it happened one day in a far future world
It all came to a stop and not one thing still twirled
And nobody nobody not even one
Had any ideas no not even a one

One day all awoke to discover their fate
All ideas had been thought on an earlier date
And now to have just a dream even so small
Well it wasn't allowed! It is against the law

Because on this day on that day when it happened
It turned out that every idea was already patented
So even a thought no matter how meek
Was not legal it was not! So no one could speak.

And one day a young boy said "I want to skate"
And somebody told him "you know your too late"

"Thinking of skating is patented see?
So I would avoid it - but that is just me"

And one day a small girl said "I want a flower"

And everyone turned and they gave her a glower

"Why are you thinking who gave you the power?
You are out of your mind now you go take a shower!"

You might think that to speak is an essential right
But you couldn't do it with all of your might
Not a problem with tasting or with your eyesight
The problem was you did not have copyright

So no one could think and no no one could talk
So around and around and around they all walked
And the happiest people they all were in jail
Where they would make merry and go tell a tale
