So Far, Lucky

I have been loved and I have been hated

But I’ve never been decapitated

I have been in charge and I have been bossed

But this precious head I’ve never lost

I have been slapped and I have been kissed

But the part atop my shoulders has never been missed

I have laughed and I have cried

Yet for all these years I’ve not yet died

I have felt love and I’ve felt pain

But I still possess my original brain

I have stumbled and I have danced

But my head has never been lanced

Oh I’ve had feelings from far and wide

I’ve tasted victory and feelings of pride

Oh I’ve felt mighty and oh so great

And I’ve curled into a ball feeling second rate

Through all these moments of woe and elation

I’ve really only experienced one sensation:

Life is grand in all its wonder

But losing one’s head would be an awful blunder

So I’ll keep mine right where it sits

Living without a head would be the pits
