DO IT NOW!
What's the good in waiting
Till your friends are hibernating
In some graveyard on a hill?
If you've a bouquet, throw it;
Now's the time to let them know it,
Or it's just the same as water
That's flowed apast the mill.
In my heart are many tokens
Of kind words my friends have spoken,
And oft in memory gives a thrill.
They did not keep their bouquets,
But put me on their O. K's
Before I'm hibernating
In a graveyard on a hill.
