Late Entry

With all the gifts I’ve got to give,
I’ll need a lot more time to live!
There’s girls to kiss
And work to miss
All far too much for me to sieve.
Where does time go? This isn’t right
I need at least another night,
To prove my worth
To all on Earth;
I could have been a shining light.
The sands still fall? This is no way
For me to spend my final day.
I’ve never seen …
And never been …
I’ll have to find a way to stay!
You see you’re wrong! You’re off your head
You meant some other man instead
I’m still alive
And sure to thrive
But wait,
oh Shit
I’m d
