Some people never had to run, they could just walk,
Some people never had to explain, they would only talk,
Their lives a blueprint of planned perspective,
Surely a form of a divine directive,
And then here I come,
A study in dumb,
My body sagging, my brain lagging,
I quit school, became the office fool,
Didn't marry right, lost everything in sight,
Looking back at my past, aghast,
I could see only a circular morass,
How would I come in first, or even honorable mention,
When I never understood the essential question?
Well, at least I have this to tell,
When someone suggests I go to Hell:
"Sir, have a care, I've already been there,
But if it's to Hades you are going,
You'll find the experience free-flowing,
Just get upon your knees,
And tell the elevator 'down please,' "
Now, I'll just stand by that elevator door,
Yelling,
"Step right in folks, always room for one
more."
