tardy

I trust I'll get to my funeral some time
procrastination being a timeless trait
I meant to end this life sublime
But I seem to be terminally late

I apologize to you making my eulogy
I really am sorry to make you wait
I appreciate the kind words you'll say
But I seem to be terminally late

The pall bearers stand by idle
While will readers prize the estate
I just knew I wanted to be there
But I seem to be terminally late

The flowers look splendid I'm sure
The songs are lovely and sedate
The choir's never gonna sound better
But I seem to be terminally late

Don't worry about me or my soul
If ol' devil comes lookin' I'll skate
Cause I've loved this life I been livin'
But I seem to be terminally late

Sign the guest book please, I thank you
Say hello to my sorrowful soul mate
I'll make it up to you all, someday
But I seem to be terminally late
