Like heaven's gate, my departure is eminent; but unlike heaven's gate, I don't depart the vehicle for the redemption of my soul, I depart my soul for the exoneration of my vehicle.
Sorry for the tears,
Sorry for the wails,
Sorry for punching you in the fist with my head,
Sorry for ruining your lasso with my back,
Sorry for wasting your bullets,
Sorry I refused to stay down,
Father, indeed, sorry I am, for breaking your precious rock with my head,
As today is your birthday,
I give you what you've always craved,
Sorry it didn't come in a tray.
Tonight we feast,
The men with guns are a wasteful bunch indeed,
Darling, with me today plenty things,
A razor from Spain, a rarity indeed,
A book from Russia, a shame we can't read,
A pencil from India, quite tasty you see,
Darling, count your blessings, I found a ring.

— The End —
