Death Bed
As I lay on my death bed
Reflecting the past
On things that I viewed
My, they sure make me laugh
People complaining it's raining again
Saying their day won't be the same
Leaving their food at the side of the plate
Watching the clock, in case their late
Sufferers of colds, Wow! can they play it out
The office warbler, to be seen they shout
The boastful, oh look what I have done today
Majority is, they get the same pay
The adverts between the programmes are too long
The radio never plays my song
Kept waiting while I queue
Cos the pensioners slow
Selfishness of the human ego
My time is going to follow deaths path
My you people, you sure make me laugh
I wish you all have many more days
What ever it is, work rest or play
Smile more in your daily strife
Try not to be too ungrateful in life
Enjoy the days, months and years ahead
As one day like me
You will be on your own Death Bed
