Old Tom died the other day

I watched as they took him away

I’m not sure if anybody knew

But mourners, they were very few.

 <o:p></o:p>

I bowed my head as he passed,

This journey was to be his last

People walking past, I heard what was said.

“I wonder who it is that’s dead?�?/P>

 <o:p></o:p>

It’s funny in a way

People just got on with their day

Not realising or wondering why.

Did any of them really cry?

 <o:p></o:p>

The world didn’t stop at all

Perhaps he was just too small.

Now it has me wondering what will be.

Will the world stop for me?
