Till We Meet Again In Heaven

In the ten years since I officially retired Have had trouble keeping my old brain active A major activity that's filled the void It's poetry, which has kept my brain captive Owe my well being to this wonderful site Anxiously checking my inbox To see who's sent me these glowing responses Check it before putting on my socks Addicted, I'd have to say that's true But life would be quite boring without it You all boost my ego every day Might survive but I really kinda doubt it So on my tombstone they'll probably inscribe He died in an extremely poetic way His last words rhymed as they closed the casket “That's all I have to say today”
