Between

Ha, that’s very funny, almost narrowing on a scream,
becoming even much more delicious with every mouthful,
little baby is starting to grow up a wee bit each day,
whoa, by the end of your sorry life, you might be normal!

Of course you aren’t nearly alone within this endeavor,
that’s why we’ve got our parents for to help us through,
and exactly the reason it suddenly compounds when an adult,
wondering our whole lives for an opportunity we now regret.

Christ, you know damn well there ain’t anything else,
we ain’t gonna see Grandma ever again, now stop this madness,
visiting is awfully nice, but there’s no way in hell I’m staying,
as if I was actually given a choice, I’d be a pile of bricks!

You’ll never have that wish put into a realistic perspective,
or we’d soon be reduced to absolutely crushing room only,
upon grand mountains of bones cleaned with our teeth,
always envious of everyone younger, healthier, and ignorant.

Look, you’ve certainly had the upper hand long before this,
then came crashing down that awesome counterweight,
nothing stays precisely the same over these heartfelt years,
while you sure ain’t gonna listen to their requests either.

It’s impossible to reclaim the intricate folds in your blanket,
fully attain this lively earth a lot past a few hands of dirt,
the sun saves us for today as it plans our doom tomorrow,
so enjoy what is handed out since this is all you’re gonna get.
