Have you had enough fun in life? What’s more,
have you realized sufficient disgust?
We get to know them on our mundane tour
as yin and yang, John and Paul, boom and bust.
It’s true you’ve not lived if you’ve not known glee -
a goodly modicum of it, no less.
A surfeit of joy will render you free,
though you may vomit cleaning up your mess.
I’m happy to have quaffed deep vats of both.
We moderns are a rather lucky lot
and consummate a double tendency.
Enough may be enough, but I am loath
to think one day I’ll drain a final pot
and lay to rest this dual dependency!
