Forever

London Bridge is falling down. Actually, England’s famous bridge never collapsed; it was sold to an entrepreneur and transported across the pond, to an isolated desert resort in Arizona.  Golfers who live near Piccadilly Mall claim the rebuilt structure is invincible and will last forever. I wonder If its eventual tumble will occur before or after the fall of America or Homo sapiens. My fair lady.
