Bags I the dummy
Bags I the cot
Bags I the rubber duck
That other baby’s got.
Bags I the cricket ball
Wickets and bat
Bags I the hamster
Bags I the cat.
Bags I the pop records
Hear the music throb
Bags I the A levels
Bags I the job.
Bags I the sweetheart
Lovers for life
Bags I the husband
Bags I the wife.
Bags I the savings
The mortgage and then
Bags I the baby –
Here we go again!
Bags I not the glasses
The nearly bald head
Bags under eyes
And the middle-aged spread.
Bags I the memories
How it all began
Bags I the grandpa
Bags I the gran.
Bags I the hearing-aid
Bags I the stick
Bags I the ending
Quiet and quick.
Goodbye world!
Goodbye me!
Bags I the coffin
RIP.
