[hometext] => You can get mad or you can get even -
but if you can do both, then you've really got something. [bodytext] => Some people never had to run, they could just walk, Some people never had to explain, they would only talk, Their lives a blueprint of planned perspective, Surely a form of a divine directive, And then here I come, A study in dumb, My body sagging, my brain lagging, I quit school, became the office fool, Didn't marry right, lost everything in sight, Looking back at my past, aghast, I could see only a circular morass, How would I come in first, or even honorable mention, When I never understood the essential question? Well, at least I have this to tell, When someone suggests I go to Hell: "Sir, have a care, I've already been there, But if it's to Hades you are going, You'll find the experience free-flowing, Just get upon your knees, And tell the elevator 'down please,' " Now, I'll just stand by that elevator door, Yelling, "Step right in folks, always room for one more."
