The next best thing will be unexpected.
The next best thing will be enough.
The next best thing will be spiritual.
The next best thing will be unused.
The next best thing will be neologic.
The next best thing will be unsaid.
The next best thing will be paracratic.
The next best thing will be silent.
The next best thing will be apocalypse.
The next best thing will be the last.

Ok, I've got to ask what does paracratic mean? And I take it your being ironical when you say the next best thing will be the last, or is that the pay off. I've always been crap at poetry.

Paracratic? You could google it, it's not quite in the dictionary yet... Ironic? Perhaps an ironic pay off?

Incidentally, I didn't know it existed at all until I Googled it. I (thought I'd) made it up based on the principles of Greek rooted English words, Democracy/cratic, Theocracy, Autocracy etc. and the greek prefix para as in para-normal, para-military, para-plegic etc. Imagine my surprise at its meaning... wonder when it'll make it to a dictionary?
