Do It Now
Do It Now
When I quit this mortal shore, and mosey round the world no more,
Don't weep, don't sigh, don't sob; I may have struck a better job.
Don't go and buy a large bouquet for which you'll find it hard to pay;
Don't mope around and feel all blue; I may be better off than you.
Don't tell the folks I was a saint or any old thing that I ain't;
If you have jam like that to spread please hand it out before I'm dead.
If you have roses, bless my soul, just pin one in my buttonhole
While I'm alive and well today. Don't wait until I've gone away.
--Sunshine Magazine, July 1973
