Insurance

We buy insurance just in case An awful thing occurs, To stop our brains before, within, An awful image stirs. There’s auto, fire, travel, health And worst of all, there’s life, Supposedly to ease your mind, Removing any strife. Of course we need it; all the same, To me, it conjures dread And makes me think of all the ways I might just wind up dead. At least there’ll be some money, though, For those who do survive Because I bought insurance In the time I was alive.
