On Death

On Death Once is enough Twice is too much I want to take it with me But there are rules Of engagement – time limits – restraints – red tape - you know You just can’t hide They tried to kill my God once It must have hurt. He took it hard We did too 3 days later He came around It was easy Like walking on water I still don’t want to go No one gets out alive they say My toys will miss me And who will pay the taxes? If you cry will it make it better?.....make it go away? So many questions….such little time I only want lunch On Death Once is enough Twice is too much
