The Cough in Verse

We’re shadows fading into night,
We danced, when sun was high,
Now shudder at the falling light.
Where did it go awry?
Soon all that we know will be gone;
Come shadows; sing along;
Why bother to e’en carry on?
When nothing matters, not e’en this song.

So giggle at life’s greatest joke,
A little tee-hee-ha
The egg’s broke; on us is the yoke,
A little tee-hee-ha
Come my friends, laugh along with me,
A tiddle-iddle-ee
