My compound words: lifetime, watchmaker, honeysuckle, wheelbarrow, blueprint

Life is a cabaret, they say,
and it’s true time flies when you’re having fun.
But, as it passes you begin to watch the days
until your maker intones, “you’re done,”
then honey, you’ll see there is no cure
you’ll just have to suckle it up, it’s no big deal.
The wheel of time moves steady and sure
No need to make a barrow of a molehill.
So as you draw your last breath
and cross that bridge at, hopefully, loooong last,
don’t be blue.  I ‘spect I’ll see you after death.
It’s in the small print, we’ll have a blast.
