His Last Few Days

I thought it was really darkly comical; you might find it depressing.
Written for a recent Songfight challenge with this title as the prompt.
My approach: you'd think if your whole life was so shitty and miserable, just filled with suffering and pain, then maybe you'd be optimistic that your final time on the planet would be a bit easier, and kind of a relief.
How completely awful if it was even worse at the very end.
Not "ha ha" funny, but tragic funny.

This is really great stuff! Love the tone of your voice. Very, very, very cool.

Anyway, this is great stuff, with the genuine knife's-edge to it. The keyboard (?) solo in the middle is really a fine spooky coloration to the ambience, and the final punchline really kicks.
