Party crasher

 + party crasher +
Death come calling
Inconvenient party crasher
Of this time called Life
Been doing what I can
To keep party spirit current
Seems the rising tide
Of cannot do's and debts
The seeping badness and madness
Got under the sheets
All sleep is torn asunder
Modern neuroses on sale
Tired and caffeine wired
Seeking a hit of achievement
Acknowledgment in termite mound
That I have done my bit
Instead the world is baking
A few extra degrees
And there is the rising
Of the life giving seas
How long till we are all drowning
Our fiscal frownings be thought tame
And now Death at the doorstep
Rudely elbowing in
Didn't have an appointment
Nor invitation to be let in
Seems there is no stopping
This ultimate of the triumvirate
Birth and Taxes and Death
As if an 8 day European holiday
Circling off what I have seen
London Paris Rome
Instead a journey through
Soon participated in all three of life's triumvirate
And an  experienced traveler
I will have been.
