I told you I'd like to live to one hundred,
In fact I told you a hundred times not to die;
Yet you went on and lived in your own individual way,
Being adventurous being deceptive and deceitful all day.
.
I was told to be a good boy if I wanted to live a long time,
With all the temptations of money along the way and in rhyme;
I couldn't explain what it really meant to want tell time first,
But the best thing I could do was to learn not to be worst.
.
A hundred times I said I want money before the time,
But I needed the time to work and get the money in my prime;
The cost and the price of it was a hundred times lucky,
And the crime was the telly and women being just clucky.
.
I look at the clock and it was a hundred times round,
The days of this earth went past till my feet could hit the ground;
A hundred times I wished I was married and not single,
But God told me to write and wait for Christmas time jingle.
.
Now the truth of the matter is that the moment is at hand,
As the years all pass by and I spend one hundred grand;
I've been around the world and you wonder what is to show,
But the experience of a lifetime is worth more than you know.
.
Well I'm now lost for words and a bit stuck for what to do,
For all of the time I've known and for a hundred times to come true;
So for now what I think it is all meaning double or nothing,
That when I go up to heaven I know hell will mean something.
.
Signed,
A Long Life.
