Robert W Service - Repentance
Work rating: Low

"If you repent," the Parson said,"
Your sins will be forgiven.
Aye, even on your dying bed
You`re not too late for heaven." 

That`s just my cup of tea, I thought,
Though for my sins I sorrow;
Since salvation is easy bought
I will repent . . . to-morrow. 

To-morrow and to-morrow went,
But though my youth was flying,
I was reluctant to repent,
having no fear of dying. 

`Tis plain, I mused, the more I sin,
(To Satan`s jubilation)
When I repent the more I`ll win
Celestial approbation. 

So still I sin, and though I fail
To get snow-whitely shriven,
My timing`s good: I home to hail
The last bus up to heaven.
