Afterlife ( A yorkshireman view )

[Yorkshire Lad]

As time ticks by and the pendulum swings
My mind concentrates on what living brings
But once in awhile I pause to try
And answer the question pertaining to why

Why am I here and where am I going
It tears me apart the fact of not knowing
Where do we go when a shortage of breath
Creates a reaction that instigates death

I try not to dwell on matters so deep
They only result in a lack of sleep
But one thing I know when I meet the grim reaper
I hope it is somewhere considerably cheaper

I love the humour you bring to such a grave question.

"But one thing I know when I meet the grim reaper
I hope it is somewhere considerably cheaper"

spoken like a true Yorkshireman.

I love the humour you bring to such a grave question.

Ah, we're into puns again......

[Byron]

I like the iambic pendumeter.

[Yorkshire Lad]

I like the iambic pendumeter.

I have a gas meter , a water meter and an electric meter but i have searched high and low and i cannot for the life of me find a "iambicpendu meter . What does it measure ?

[Byron]

It measures tick-tocks to the p'wer of ten. I think.

[lizzytysh]

Yeah, I know Byron and it didn't occur to me til I saw it on the page and then wondered should I leave it. You can see what I decided.

[Yorkshire Lad]

I love the humour you bring to such a grave question.

Yes Lizzy I think I've lost the "plot" so I I will stop digging if you get my drift

[lizzytysh]

Just remember, the alternative is a burning question... no plot required and the answer may be blowin' in the wind.
