Flemingovia's Farewell Wake
« on: October 27, 2007, 09:51:13 AM »
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, Ive laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

I wonder what Flem would sound like singing that.

You had a short, yet sweet party. You rock! And I am not saying that because you live in Britain, Deep Purple is British, and Deep Purple rocks the hardest. Well, I kinda am, but you still rock. In the normal sense.

* Walks in, sobbing, dressed all in black with a long dress and veil.  Stops for a moment upon seeing the apparent revelry.

"Wait, what kind of wake is this?  I'm way overdressed."

* Yanks off the veil, hikes the dress up to her knees, and grabs a stiff drink.

"To Flem!"  :drunks:
