My Trolley Half

Push my trolley down the hill
Let is crash and see how I feel

Unstable - it’s missing one wheel
It's a thrill – this ride could kill

It’s carrying my life’s clutter
All old and new, even litter

It’s half full or half empty
I don’t care, but some got plenty

So it means my life was a waste?
what, that I don’t have taste?!

No, no, I’m not offended
Forgive me if I’m offhand-ish!

The shop just closed – end of sale
I was glued on some merchandise like a tail

Didn’t realise my life was passing me by
My wife saying goodbye

My kids growing up – and going off
My life – unfulfilled – my trolley half
