…is a short warm moment,
and death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try
in the twinkling of an eye.
Eighty years with luck or even less.
Thanks for that optimistic view Mr. Roger Waters. Upbeat as ever I see.

I once had a friend ranting about “Why the hell does life even exist?” and his four year old daughter, lying on the floor and coloring her coloring book, remarked “Life exists cause you couldn’t make it up.”
I have so stolen that line.

Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
