Help finding irony in this poem? (part 2)?

Question

can someone please help me find irony in this poem please? thanks =]

Miscellaneous Raving
To other folks, it must seem like a blessing
that they're not like me. When I'm not obsessing
about some economic indicator
or other, I'm freaked out about the eight or
so reasons why I know the world's collapsing.
I spend too much time thinking and 'perhapsing'.

My worries intertwine in one big jumble:
perhaps the world's economy will crumble,
or asteroids will smack into the planet,
or huge chunks of Canary Island granite
will suddenly slide into the Atlantic.
Can you see why I feel a little frantic?

I don't know why I contemplate disaster.
Is it because it makes my heart beat faster
and lends excitement to my dull existence
to worry about dangers in the distance?
Do I enjoy inducing paroxysms
of terror and, so, dream of cataclysms?

Perhaps I should have been a movie-maker.
I could have made a mint writing 'Earthquake' or
'The Morning After' or some other story
that would have satisfied the taste for gory
scenes that depict the world's annihilation
without requiring forcible sedation.

But as things stand, all I can do is hunker
down in some cave or well-stocked fall-out bunker
in which I've hoarded food and guns and ammo
and wait until the universe goes, 'Blammo!'
My days are filled with worry and repining.
Meanwhile, somewhere outside, the sun is shining

THANKS SO MUCH LADYBIRD!! Im still trying to get the hang of irony because i keep on thinking its between the lines when its right in front of me! lol THANKS AGAIN! =]

Answer 1

Well, the biggest piece of irony in the whole poem is the last line! The writer spends the entire poem talking about unlikely disasters which cause him/her great anxiety while outside the bunker the sun is shining! Question being raised here is, do you want to spend your life hiding and worrying about things that may never happen, or would you rather be outside enjoying today in the sun?

Answer 2

That was pretty good.
