Hedonistic Pleasures

What are your pleasures? Cuddling your feline,
or scoffing chocolate like there's no tomorrow?
Drinking beer, smoking, even taking some hash,
or oddly, submitting yourself under the lash.

How about sex? All these emotional hang - ups,
you start to wonder, is all the nonsense worth it?
Life's an emotional blackmail - have to enjoy something,
otherwise, what on Earth is the point of anything?

When you become older, you begin to have failing health,
my nephew said: 'Hope I die before I become old,'
It may not happen - there you are having to deal with it,
hip joints, knee joints, why should I have to go thro' this?

Well, you can go to Switzerland, pay £10,000, end it all,
or, shut up, and just carry on eating your chocolate cake.
