You think you've got troubles - <br />There is always someone having worse - <br />Your trouble is you've got <br />A terminal disease called Vita Brevis - <br />In spite of all your joy <br />In seeing children grow <br />And flowers bloom and Alps erode <br />It's out to get you <br />At some inconvenient time - <br />But that is best - not so? <br />Who wants a rendez-vous? Not I - <br />Let others throw the switch - Zap! Wham!<br /><br />George Beecher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ve-got-troubles/
