A lucky man
(I forget his name)
gathered his winnings and retired young.
He enjoyed peaceful mornings
in the garden, afternoons
on the golf course, and evenings
with cable TV.
He enjoyed leisurely vacations
in Vegas, Honolulu,
Cancun and Orlando.
He enjoyed health, prosperity,
friendship and love.
Then he died.
