No.
Family don’t visit too much anymore
Picnic table been overgrown
Fact is, not safe to sit on
Seems like folks order in food
Stays at home watchin’ TV
News used to be shared around
Tellin’ each other what they heard
Sharin’ smokes and jokes
And sometimes a sip from a jug
When the women ain’t lookin’
Still got my dog Sniffles
We walks together most mornings
Sometimes my bones ache too much
Sniffles looks up and understands
Goanna leave this earth ‘for long
Heaven seems to beckon
It’s time, I reckon
