Lies

Where's the sense in a-hurryin'?

Aye, what's the fuss, says I —

Them that worried their lives to death

Are the same that others are buryin'.

Them that relaxes and lays on a cot

Are peaceful, and mild, and kind;

You can't say the same for the hurriers —

Suffice it to say, they are not.

Them that are frantic, and worry,

Only cause more gentle folks stress;

To their grave is where they hurry,

But I take my time, more or less.
