Pushing Up Daises
No if, and's, buts or try out your luck
No not even a maybe
But before too long I feel I'll be gone
On my way to pushing up daisies
No sense standing here shaking in fear
Crying out like a baby
I feel the walls closing in with the creak of the lid
Faster than a chance to save me
What comes around goes or what goes around comes
Seriously you need to believe
Soon on the other side if anyone decides
By chance that they might need me
Six feet in a hole all except for my soul
Air tight they say for safe keeping
With nary a sound I take it all lying down
Plenty of time for inward thinking
Here in my new home with dirt ceiling and floor
In this little room they graciously gave me
Spending all of my time in mid-excersise
An eternity of pushing up daisies
