Another One for Frank



A Borrowed lyric
(for Frank Longley)

"Life is just a bowl of cherries,
don't take it serious,
you'll be delirious."

I told the old man
I never go to funerals,

"You work you slave
you worry so, but you can't
take it with you
when you go, go, go.

He looked at me with
sad eyes and said,
"When you get to be my age
you better get your suit pressed."

The next day one of my
best friend died.

"The best things in life,
for you are just loaned
you can't keep what
you've never owned.

Just keep believing
it's the berries,
and live and laugh
at it all."
