No wonder why the good die young.
They are hung,
On a scaffold
That never touches the ground.

And as people sit and watch,
The lonely souls they march
To a destination
that has never been disclosed.

Cause I don't know where heaven is,
But I know the road there is a black lonely walk.

Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world-except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe [smacks his lips] they're so perky, I love that.

This is brilliant! I completely agree, thank you for sharing.
