I Will Be Fine
A chubby ambulance with blinking lights
Rolled up to the house next door
As if a stream of steady hurt
Had been screaming forevermore
Followed by a wailing dog
Where would his master go?
Followed by his live in whore
Taken in the fog, taken in the fog.
Arriving at hospital
The EMT jumped out
The staff all came a running
Too late without a doubt
You can search all you want
When a sheet’s upon my head
And I am thrown into that body bag
I will feel a bit of glee that I am dead.
As they toss my worn out flesh and eyes
Into chubby ambulance number thirty-three
That blinking light carousel
With the remnants of the last of me
Will take me to Neverland where I will finally be free.
The doctor calls “it”
As he shakes his youngish head.
The man on the next gurney
Promptly falls out of bed.
My spirit is smiling happily
As I am taken into the world of ones I adore.
Angels surrounding me to remind me
I have been here many times before.
I have been here many times before.
No, you cannot go with me, my darlings, who are sad.
When I leave this earth life, I will no longer be big or bad.
When I am slid into Number Thirty-three
The angels will prepare me for my trip.
As I am brought to the hospital
The doctor will be glad to call “it”.
The journey is to be traveled by us one at a time.
So take a swig of whiskey.
And know that I’ll be fine.
Flesh was never meant to travel to the Neverland.
Where I am enjoying my hobbies, the very best I can.
Do not be sad, my darlings.
This is a trip we make many times.
Know that even though my flesh is dead.
I am going to be fine!
I am going to be fine!
