I know that the Romans came after the Greeks;
|
I went to a lecture to hear Robert Hughes speak -
|
I am honoured, cultured, literate - and yet
|
All of my life I've had one main regret.
|
|
I wish I'd slept with more girls;
|
I wish I'd had more sex;
|
I wish my wife had'a sucked my dick.
|
|
They told me the yobbos would turn out no good -
|
I did my homework, they turned into hoods -
|
I have a family. I am happy and proud.
|
I said no to anything I wasn't allowed.
|
|
I wish I'd done more drugs;
|
I wish I'd snorted coke;
|
I wish I had taken the risk.
|
|
The Angel of Death hovers overhead.
|
My family, come, gather 'round the bed;
|
Come my colleagues, come literate friends.
|
Here is my last wish, as my life ends.
|
|
I wish you'd written my books;
|
I wish you'd married my wife;
|
I wish you owned my home;
|
|
I wish my thoughts were yours;
|
I wish my life weren't mine;
|
I wish you'd never known me at all;
|
|
I wish you'd take my place;
|
I wish it were you lying here;
|
I wish you'd all get fucked.
