KARL'S RETIRED 11/81

Just read your ideas of what a good
life should ought to mean.
There is something I should tell you,
I just as well come clean.
Everything you want is great,
no one will disagree.
But who will mind the store today
If everyone says, not me?
You want to live a life of ease
Do exactly as you please,
Live each day where the skies
are clear,
Dance to a tune you alone
can hear.
If you want to eat just hold
up your hand.
Your bed be made with a command.
With responsibilities you want
nothing to do.
Others can get by without
leaning on you.
What you want is way out of sight.
Look through the tunnel and
I'll show you the light.
I'm ahead of you and the rest of the mob.
I've already got that job.
