Life is short, life is sweet
Life will end, in blinding heat

The Path

The trees were growing, getting taller and taller
The path led to darkness, getting deeper and deeper
The grass was shrinking, getting smaller and smaller
The path it leads to the church, of the grim reaper

Roulette

The numbers game, see the dice roll
It's six, six,six, you've sold your soul

The Hot Seat

"Sit in the chair" said the host
"I'll switch it on and make you toast"

Time

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, clang!
The worlds clock, stopped with a bang

Pigeon

A plump pigeon flew high, into the sky
Until it was shot and turned into pie

Toad

The car suddenly skidded, in the middle of the road
For stuck to its tyre, was a squashed toad

These poems are pungant in their approach to the subject matter. They each hold a similar meaning.
