Eulogy of My Self-Worth

When I die, there will be no crying
                                               It shall be a time to laugh and sing
                                               Good times gone but never forgotten
                                               Hit the road, Jack!
                             
                                               All my friends and family will be there
                                               For drink, talk and good fellowship
                                               Music and dancing everywhere you look
                                               Live and let die!

                                               Games and good times galore what a time!
                                               Party hats and whistles passed out at the door
                                               And let's not forget about the door prizes
                                               A copy of the single "Zombie"!

                                               I am sure there will be times of sadness here
                                               But clever diversions will end that quickly
                                               Before long the place will be rockin'
                                               It's my party and I'll die if I want to!

                                               And to all those that choose to attend
                                               Will be blessed with love forever
                                               'Cause I will see who the patrons are
                                                Well secluded, I see all!

                                                Yeah, it's gonna be a great bash, wish I could make it
                                                But as you see I had a prior engagement
                                                So drink one or two or three for me too
                                                One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer!

                                               To my loving family on this day:
                                               Daddy loves you very much and is still with you
                                               So don't you cry my three little cool kids,
                                               I belive it's time for me to fly!
