Life and Death
Life is like a car without brakes
Except on fire and filled up with snakes
It frantically flies, as if scraping the skies
And will probably end up in a lake
But life has a deadline in mind
You will die if you’re rude or you’re kind
Whether you die with a splash or a horrible crash
Death is the truth we all find
So don’t worry about when you’ll die
We get there at different times
Some deaths take a week, some die in their sleep
And some even fall from the sky
So death is no reason to fear
Millions breathe their last breath every year
so just rest assured that your death is assured
And someday your time will be here
