Fin

Life is so boring I spend mine ignoring Everything that is fun Footballers scoring Cups of tea pouring And they say I’m satisfied Newspaper crinkling Grandpa’s a thinking About placing a bet on a mare Mothers a sleeping With secrets she’s keeping She don’t want son to know Grandma’s is crying ‘Cos she knows that I’m dying But I won’t tell anyone else Daddy’s daydreaming He knows I’m leaving For reasons I didn’t say Children are playing And they are saying “Why do you have to go?” Thieves they are stealing They take all the feeling But they can’t take my pride Now I’m just lying Yes I am dying To know what they think about me So keep your tea pouring I don’t mean to be boring Just let me go It’s the same in the end So it’s goodbye my friend I have to goThis one started as a nursery rhyme.
