Poem of the Month



I DON’T THINK I’VE GOT LONG TO LIVE
===================================

I don’t think I’ve got long to live
I hear you ask, why is that so?
Have you been to a fortune teller
Or has the doctor told you? No.

My liver is absolutely fine
There’s nothing wrong with my heart
The reason I think I haven’t long to live
Is my bag for life just fell apart.

I tell you, I’m really worried
Ever since my life hit this snag
The bottom’s fallen out of my world
Now that the bottom’s fallen out of my bag

I daren’t go outside in case of accidents
Turmoil in my mind is now rife
My life is now totally empty
Just like my bag for life
