You can win the game
If you have no shame
And your life’s a take-the-pissTory
Run from job and wife
Run your whole damn life
But no-one outruns history.
You can fool them all
If you have the gall
Why they let you is a mystery
But the world’s moved on
From a lying con
And you know you’re gone, you’re history.
Yes, yes, wishful thinking, counting chickens etc. Still, celebrate what you can when you can!

I cannot write poetry to save my soul.
