136 Word Sway
If I should live 'til one-thirty-six
what fun might I have...
how would I get my kicks?
I'd start with a dance
swaying in my wheelchair
with that lovely young lad
whom I kissed on a dare!
His eyes... oh, how playful
still youthful and bright
and the kiss that we shared
was a savory delight!
When the music begins
(even if we can’t hear it)
we'll transcend earthly ties
and be free from all care...
The angels will ferry us
far from the crowd
as we climb to the heavens
and waltz on a cloud!
From this blissful state
I would never come down
leaving earth with a grin
no hint of a frown ; )
If given a choice
out of all of my picks
I would whirl ‘til the curtains dropped
at one-thirty-six.
