Robert W Service - A Busy ManRobert W Service - A Busy Man
Work rating: Medium


This crowded life of God`s good giving No man has relished more than I; I`ve been so goldarned busy living I`ve never had the time to die. So busy fishing, hunting, roving, Up on my toes and fighting fit; So busy singing, laughing, loving, I`ve never had the time to quit. I`ve never been one for thinking I`ve always been the action guy; I`ve done my share of feasting, drinking, And lots of wenching on the sly. What all the blasted cosmic show meant, I`ve never tried to understand; I`ve always lived just for the moment, And done the thing that came to hand. And now I`ll toddle to the garden And light a good old Henry Clay. I`m ninety odd, so Lord, please pardon My frequent lapses by the way. I`m getting tired; the sunset lingers; The evening star serenes the sky; The damn cigar burns to my fingers . . . I guess . . . I`ll take . . . time off . . . to die.
