Till I Am Laid To Rest

If our life is predestined and our fate preordained Why stress and strain, why live a life of drudgery Oh, why toil in vain, why to the grindstone be chained, Let's indulge in a life of slothful luxury. ~Contest: Sin of Sloth ~Sponsor: Margarita Lillico.

The more mileage you put on your car, sooner it will wear out and breakdown on the road one day. Better to garage your car, wash it, clean it, take it for a spin once in a while and put it back in the garage -- if you catch my drift! lol.
