So happy to work
To finally be
Accepted by someone
Financially free
To watch my bank
Start to grow
As I save money
Look at it go
I buy a car
Keep it pristine clean
Take care of it
Watch it gleam
I go to the pub
I drink and smoke
I enjoy myself
Life is no joke
Forty now
Still enjoying myself
Life is good
Ok health
All the money
In the bank
House paid off
No more rent
I never married
No kids for me
I was happy
Living free
Go on holiday
Where I like
Enjoy the sun
Beautiful life
Ready to retire
Put my feet up
Chill out a bit
It’s been a bit much
Ready to receive
My first pension cheque
Waited so long
To be paid back
My account online
Is looking good
Order in takeout
Some nice fancy food
As the doorbell rings
I go to open
I lose my footing
My hip is broken
I call for an ambulance
And dial 999
I cry to myself
Over the line
The lady on the phone
“Sir can you hear me?”
Unable to respond
I drop the phone feebly
I never thought
It would end like this
I just wish
I would have been missed
