LAST ONE IN

LAST ONE IN

Life’s a wondrous smorgasbord, a glorious experiment.
Life is made for celebration, custom built for merriment.
Life’s a swimming pool to dive in, delicious cool right off the bat.
Brace yourself for sweet refreshment, last one in’s a dirty rat.

There’s no time to spend in sorrow, lost in memories of the past.
Fix your gaze upon tomorrow, do not be downcast.
Life’s a kiddie pool to wade in, cool, clear water bathes your feet.
So brace yourself for pure delight, last one in’s a parakeet.

Life’s a Rubik’s cube of mystery, unfathomable to ponder.
The more you try to solve the riddle, the more you sit and wonder.
There’s no time to nurse your wounds in endless hours of worry.
Brace yourself for a dream fulfilled, last one in’s a creature furry.

There’s no time to moan and mumble, lost in all your fretting.
The sun may grace the evening sky, but soon it will be setting.
Life’s a fishing pond for schemers, the rod and reel rest by the tree.
The fish are jumping in the lake, daybreak beckons you and me.
So brace yourself for a day of joy, good luck, go break a leg.
Life’s a swimming hole for dreamers, last one in’s a rotten egg.
