REFERRAL ORDER

 

I spoke to the Doctor

who was very direct

 

he assured me

that lab results did not lie

 

and so he referred me a specialist-

a board certified Mortician 

 

no sense in arguing with

what is most likely probable

 

or postponing

the inevitable.

It could be said that death is the tax levied on the gift of life. And like
every tax, it should be deferred for as long as possible. ?

Hope this isn't autobiographical? I wrote the suggestion on your profile before reading this, I swear!!!

Short, sharply insightful and, in my view, very well written.

Just thinking: 'most likely probable' is still a door ajar to an unknown interior. The indomitable human spirit. An excellent inclusion banging against the final two lines.

Only one thing is certain-Death
Taxes can be deferred!
