That was interesting; death I mean.
You live a good life, laugh a bit, and die. 

Death. . . it doesn't even seem real; me in a grave
I'm the guy that dyed Easter eggs every year,
I'm the guy that tied apples to a branch when my little neighbor wanted to grow an apple tree.
How could I be dead?
 

Thinking. . . thinking. . . ah yes!
It was that darn marble dust!
I worked with marble, marble floors to be exact.
It's all coming back to me...
 

That's how I got lung cancer.
Isn't that a joke; lung cancer?
And I never smoked a day of my life.
Well, maybe one cigar when the war ended.
And now I'm stuck in this box for eternity.
 

Darn it
Maybe I should have become that astronaut after all  
Oh well, too late now
