The Good Lord Has a Sense of Humour, I Hope
by

Today, dear Lord 1 am 80, and there's much I have not done.
I hope Dear Lord you will let me live until I am 81.
But then, if I have not finished all I want to do,
would you let me stay a while until I'm 82?
So many places I want to go, so very much to see,
Do you think that you could manage to make it 83?
The world is changing very fast, there's such a lot in store,
I would like it very much to live until I am 84.
And if by then I'm still alive, I'd like to stay until I'm 85.
More planes will fill the air so I'd really like to stick
And see what's going on in the world when I turn 86.
Oh Dear Lord it's much to ask, and it must be nice in Heaven
But I'd really like to stay around until I am 87.
I know by then I won't be fast, and sometimes I'll be late,
But it would be pleasant to be around at 88.
I will have seen so many things, and had a lovely time
I am sure I would be willing to leave, at the age of 89. (maybe)
Dear Lord, thank you kindly, I have one more thing to say
If it's OK with you 90 plus would really make my day.
