The Reckoning by Robert W. Service
Time has got a little bill — get wise while yet you may,
For the debit side‘s increasing in a most alarming way;
The things you had no right to do, the things you should have done,
They‘re all put down; it‘s up to you to pay for every one.
So eat, drink and be #merry, have a good time if you will,
But God help you when the time comes, and you
Foot the bill.
