Not Time For Me

Somehow I lost track of my age Keen with sight and mind of sage Watching chic’s only, not to engage Wishful thinking but let’s turn the page. A cake full of candles light up the room if the frosting was combustive I’d go boom the weight of all the candles made it sag I must be rather old but I won’t brag. You see I am whole and not just a link never liked carrot juice or that Geritol drink I expect someday I will get a call that someone is waiting for me in the hall. the light can shine down upon me I don’t care I am not about to leav… I swear they can send down a search party of troops I love it here so I will make another loop. Each day I live that’s one less day that I don’t Let the train go back empty, all aboard I won’t Birthdays come but once a year Every time it does it brings such good cheer. Made it over the mountains and drove on proud Won’t accept the sullen sky with its grim dark cloud Heaven is peaceful which we all know but I’m living longer, I just won’t go.
