Last Will and Testament

As my friends and enemy's gathered round my death bed For the reading of my last will and testament Excited with the prospect of what I have left As my lawyer clears his throat, this is what he says To Bob I leave all of my misery He can use it when he needs company To Sue I leave behind all of my regrets If I live much longer I'm sure I can add to the list And for Darren I've packed up all of my weakness I hope you have the strength for them, as God is my witness By now to say the least I'm sure some of you are shocked But don't worry I'm leaving behind much more than that Jamie for you I'm leaving my selfishness That might be in itself my last selfish act And Cindy here's my envy when it's all done and said I bet you'll be wishing you had Sue's regret Jerry to you I leave my jealousy After all you always wanted it much more than me I never got around to adding procrastination to the list Guess you can all share when it comes to this As my lawyer came to the end of the very last page And all my friends and enemy's turned to walk away I spoke my last words saying there's one thing I can't leave As I'll be taking all of my happiness with me...
