See Ya In Heaven
In the ten years since I officially retired
Had trouble keeping my old brain active
A major activity that's filled the void
It's poetry, which has kept my brain captive
Owe my well being to this wonderful site
Anxiously checking my inbox
To see who's sent me these glowing responses
Check it before putting on my socks
Addicted, I'd have to say that's true
But life would be quite boring without it
You people boost my ego every day
Might survive but I really kinda doubt it
So on my tombstone they'll probably inscribe
He died in an extremely poetic way
His last words rhymed as they closed the casket
“That's all I have to offer today”
