The Pickering Syndrome
Pickering, Pickering, going to die in Pickering, so many ways out I can’t just pick one. Pickering, Pickering, going to die in Pickering, view’s nice, glows at night. Pickering, Pickering, sage advice, nervous in the night, I’m gonna die in Pickering, but the price is right, the housing’s cheap here, people are moving out all the time from Pickering. Just disappearing, like cattle snatched, begotten in the night, homes abandoned in reckless abandon, what are the odds destiny falls tonight in Pickering? Pickering, quit dicking around on Pickering, got a GO line, they’re going to be fine, Pickering, Pickering, going to die in Pickering so many ways out I can’t just pick one. Pickering, Pickering, the view’s nice, glows at night, Pickering, sage advice, nervous in the night, but Oshawa’s a ghost town although Ajax seems alright. Scarborough’s insular and insolent but Pickering? Shopping malls and teenage cars and playing cards and wily police vets. Those wily police vets watching backs. But a nuclear attack it’s just that it’s a fact and it comes up from the underground like a spring. But maybe not today so don’t be afraid it’s a low-percentage risk. But it’s a fact. And if you didn’t get the text then Torontopia’s next but tonight if you’re going to die any place on Earth should it be Pickering? Pickering, Pickering, going to die in Pickering. Pickering, Pickering, going to die in Pickering. Pickering, Pickering, going to die in Pickering. The view’s nice, glows at night.
