My Last Laugh

If I die I die and the last laugh I’ll have…
Will be at those fools who think I care. 
I’ve never spoken to a dead man…
‘bout his misery or  despair    

But….. when I speak to those who tell me they're living 
Most complain in a thousand ways,,,,
Counting all of their life’s problems ...
Living in worry all of their days

This is not to say the act of dying 
May not be filled with some concern
But there’s no doubt about it 
Each one of us will have our turn
