The Hedonist

What comes next For the hedonist When the pleasures in life are gone When happiness On its own behest Quickly moves south in the pond When all but your name In life tends to change Replaced by the aches and pains Where what used to be fun All comes undone And is barely remembered in dreams What happens when They lose the bet On how long happiness sticks around When they open the door On no more than bored And they are handed a rusty crown When the pinnacle of pleasure Is feeling under the weather No longer on the A-list Where you thought all was fine Till the day of your dying Goodbye fun to the hedonist Listening to a guy on the radio speak of Hugh Hefner's life as a hedonist... I find it very sad.
