Before Their Time

Please, say their names
tell their stories
Help stake the claims
for the glories
we must despair
since they can’t share
now they’re not there

Start to Finish

Moving along
if we're clever
we'll learn how long
is forever
Of course that's rot
since I forgot
the past that passed

I once was young
and wicked smart
My feats were sung
My looks were art
But now I’m old
and not so bold
And full of bull
