Falling Asleep At the Wheel
Have had this beard since 1962
Without it would sure be unsightly
Have a severe case of sleep apnea
A face mask must fit tightly
To solve it, may have to shave it off
Or I'll lose my right to drive
The danger is falling asleep at the wheel
But my eyes are always open wide
We all get lumped together it seems
If the tests prove the danger is real
I'll lose my independence forever after
Since my teens, been behind the wheel
Feels like I've reached a whole new plateau
A plateau that was so far away
Next I'll be spoon fed by an elderly nurse
In a home... oh happy day!
