24 HOURS LEASE ONLY

Lease of Life
Last night I was feeling cold,
nearly dead
they said wake up
yesterday’s dinner is being laid
I asked to be served in bed

No you are not dead yet
wake up get dressed
and the car is on its way
we will go to Molina Rouge
your ribs
we will all eat

It gave me another lease
today I went to yet another free feast
and have added years to life
how many more years will be my strife?
can't wish it
but I will ask for more, ribs of animals and buttered chicken
as you want to make me live
so keep your purse well insured
and also save for charity to give

More of a piece of prose and a plea to keep your support flowing.
I do hope it is fiction where you expect all the others to feed you and hold your hand.
In this world are so many that have no choice about which tap they use as they have none and to go out and eat ribs and butter well, those that have none will still laugh and live each day, should put us to shame but I hear that to be civilised you need thick skin and money lol
Take care young Bard I awaited comments and was disappointed but I smile all the same..
Yours as always Ian..
