Gallows Humour

I was at the Enmore Theatre
To watch The Human League
Familiar songs from childhood
A pause from life's fatigue

I looked up to the gallery
Saw happy dancing fools
Who'd swear that life is joyful-
A basket filled with jewels

But now that age has claimed me
I viewed horror in their jests
Gallows humour moments
In a painful waltz to death
