LAST GASP

Samuel (kicked the) Bucket

 

One last GASP

Got to give up GASP

I can’t give up GASP

I won’t give up GASP

First of many later no more not yet but nearly ending again the inspiration finished only expiration to follow GASP

Always so from the beginning one counted two and so on on on in out up down and out GASP

Breathless breathing the old habit dies hard not hard not dies not yet please but almost as good as once started how the poor lungs cope day in day out sun rise to sunset all night long GASP

Never was other than ever the same first last GASP

After all nothing after first to last GASP

One last GASP

Got to give up GASP

I can’t give up GASP

I won’t give up GASP
