Its morbid I know but

Queen Victoria had fourteen years to go

When she was my age, while

Darwin had fifteen. For his part

Napoleon had been gone sixteen years,

Marilyn six. Ghandi on the other hand

Had twenty-one years left and

Julius Caesar was just bowing out.

Me, I dont hope for longevity, as,

When my father was my age,

He'd been dead ten years,

Quite suddenly he went, before my very eyes
