The One With The Big Ego

The one with the big ego is not feeling well
And for to buy back his health all of his assets he'd sell
But if money or assets cannot buy life to the dead
The same of good health it can also be said.

The one with the big ego is fading away
And he seems to grow frailer and paler each day
Of hopes for the future he feels quite bereft
And of living for him 'twould seem little time left.

He knows all too well time is not on his side
And his ego is deflated along with his sense of pride
His better days sad to say for him are gone
And the seconds on his life they keep ticking on.

He knows he is fading and time is ticking fast
And his ego has left him as a thing of the past
The cancer treatment has robbed him of his head of hair
And he doze in the sunlight in his garden chair.
