Curtains Close

I've oft heard it said that funerals are for the living

So when I clock out of this prolonged work day that is life

When I leave this miserable existence

Give a long and moving speech about my life

Tell my mother I was happy

Tell my sisters I had no regrets

And that there's nothing I'd have liked to change

Tell them I left 'cause it was my time

Tell them I departed with that mischievous smirk on my face and a glint in my eye

Lie to them for me

For alas, I won't be around to do it myself
