I Am Alive

At first I was afraid

I was mortified

Kept thinking I could never live

Without my nine to five

But then, you put me in a home

You thought that you’d got rid of me

But I’ll be fine

It’s pay back time

So now just go

Walk out the door

You’ve locked me up now

Because I’m almost ninety four

Well, I’d rather go to bed

After t.v bingo game

If you don’t get out this instant

I’ll hit you with my zimmer frame

So yes, just go,

I’ll laugh the last

That nice male nurse will be due soon

To give another long bed bath

I cared for you- I gave you love

I gave you all my precious years

But now you happily ignore

All my tantrums and my tears

So just get out

Don’t try to weep

You put me out with all the rubbish

Threw me onto the scrap heap

But if you really want to cry

Look at my new will today

Because I’ve left every single penny

To the R.S.P.C.A

I am alive!
