If Only Life Was Like a Parking Meter

If Only Life Was Like a Parking Meter

By Elton Camp

When time on the parking meter grows shorter,
We can keep it going by putting another quarter
That means with a minimal amount of attention
We can maintain an indefinite time extension

But there is nothing simple like this so that we can
Nearly so quickly and easily add to our life span
Age or accidents play their part and it is required
That the red tag will arise and our time has expired
