The Club

Paul Bress, UK

This club is not for VIPs
(Or rather not just for VIPs)
No, it’s an inclusive club
You’re all welcome
In fact (if I’m being honest)
You have to join
Sooner or later

But you’ll be in good company
The club’s membership is vast
Yes, there are literally billions of members,
More even
Than all the people on the planet.

So what makes it so popular, this club?
Maybe it’s the lack of entry fee?
The lack of rules?
The fact that you can’t be thrown out?
Whatever the attraction
Whether tomorrow
Or in a hundred years
You’ll all be joining
The club of the dead.
