Suicide is Painless

(Theme from M*A*S*H*)

Through early morning fog I see,
Visions of the things to be,
The pains that are withheld for me,
I realize and I can see...

That suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make,
All our little joys relate,
Without that ever-present hate,
But now I know that it's too late, and...

That suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play,
I'm gonna lose it anyway.
The losing card I'll someday lay,
So this is all I have to say.

That suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat,
And lay it down before I'm beat,
And to another give my seat,
For that's the only painless feat.

That suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins.
It doesn't hurt when it begins.
But as it works its way on in,
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

That suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once requested me,
to answer questions that are key.
Is it to be or not to be?
And I replied 'Oh why ask me?'

'Cause suicide is painless.
It brings on many changes.
And I can take or leave it if I please.
...And you can do the same thing if you choose.

You have a ways to go yet, Mark. The List doesn't have you showing anywhere near the top yet. Maybe it's the " quitting smoking " thing...

It's interesting that they used the song with the lyrics in the movie, but didn't use the lyrics in the TV show. Guess mainstream TV viewers weren't ready for that one.

Oh come on Mark, there is a nugget of gold in your heart. Your kitties told me so ;)
Knowing you, you will adopt the most deserving kitty or kitties.
Last one I adopted, was free from a newspaper ad as a mothersday present to myself. As you know, if you don't adopt them, they will become shadow kitties. And oh boy did she have issues. Healty kitty now, if she isn't roaming, you can find her next to my head on my bed. Ziggy likes to protect my toes. And Latte the doggie, guards my room.
I consider myself very lucky.
Pluto will always be a planet to me.

You are blessed indeed............
There is just so much of me to spread around..........
If I had my truest wishes come true, all kitties would have homes, and there would be no need for the shelters..........
Alas, not in my lifetime..so I will do what I can....and try to inspire the rest of my Seti brethren to support my cause......meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow!!
