some say the world will end in fire
some say in ice
while they fulfill every desire
and separate, higher and higher
for you -- no effort will suffice
they'll pat you on the back: "oh, great
but please do better, that'd be nice
and do not hate
that is a vice"
Author notes: wc 52 The prompt is the saying itself -- Winter Is Coming -- as well as the name of the series, The Song of Ice and Fire -- fitting right into Robert Frost's poem https://allpoetry.com/contest/2785850--Winter-is-Coming----Quotes-from-Game-of-Th and with apologies to Robert Frost https://allpoetry.com/poem/8469255-Fire-And-Ice-by-Robert-Frost
