A ***** shirt and holes in your socks.

when you're folded away and put in the box it won't matter to you,if
you're in a suit with tie and boots,
you'll still be down there with your roots.
We all will end the day we bend to the will of time,
which is not as far as I can tell,
a crime,
yet.
I get this feeling, that if there is a punishment to come,
mine will be peeling potatoes under the blistering sun,and
after the things I've been up to and done,it seems fair
to me.

No worry though,less haste and let me be slow to catch
the bus to the terminal.
