Irony of Life
Longing to replace my old shoe
And then I met him without leg
Crazy I was for sunglasses
Lately I saw a beggar he has no eye
You are wealthy and not even healthy
Shame on you, ho! Unto your wealth
A living dog betters a dead lion
Great men fall mostly to women
Biblical Samson suits the example
Six feet under the ground we walk
There ends our struggle and bustle
An irony of life
And life’s irony
