Last Laugh

Thank the Lord

I never had children 

As with me the cycle ends

No more bad luck to put upon another 

No more laugh's and jokes at our expense 

Hereditary persecution ends here with me

Tomorrow you will have to find another poor soul

Upon which to pray your game 

Of picking the wings off defenseless fly's 

No more crying 

No tear's for you to see 

Find another mouse with which to play

My family tree never did you any harm

But that didn't stop you 

Just know this

For all you gave

All I took

This is my final gift to you 

I have the last laugh

With me it ends here

I leave you no heir to continue 

Let it be known you heard it here 

No more tear's 

No more fear's 

See you on the other side 

On a level playing field

And by the way

Vie got your Number
