Apricot Tarts

As I lie here on my death bed Feeling the last beats of my heart My only regret is, I didn't close The lid on the apricot tarts Sounds like a kind of trivial thing But to some, it's a big faux pas Little things are very important To me, that's a major flaw In the great, overall scheme of things So they're not as fresh as alleged I'll eat those things any way they come Don't mind if there's fur on the edge I think they call it **** retentive And applies to so many things Like how dishes are placed in the washer And how you must rinse everything I really do feel sorry for these people They need to start enjoying their life Stop worrying 'bout all those silly things In Heaven, there's none of that strife!
