As danger raps upon the door
To warn me of times settling score
I face the fact that fate won’t wait
Until a more convenient date.
I chuckle now and make a joke
Why must I go, I don’t feel broke ?
A bit of pain just here and there
I won’t complain, I grin and bear.
But time and I have got a date
I know the rules we can’t be late,
To come the day I’ll close my eyes
And it will be one big surprise !
