THE PERFECT EXIT LINE
These lines were inspired by a press photo from New York some years ago. The wording
quoted and the image referred to are 100% correct. I love its unintentional black humour.

The funniest photo I can recall
Was taken after a gangster's fall;
A Mafia Don got HIS one-liner
When shot to death in an Italian diner.
The NYPD was there (you betcha!)
To carry the Don out on a stretcher,
And as they passed the camera's eye,
Into view came a message on high.
The restaurant sign above the door
Had this offer that I saw -
A generous mention
Within its borders...
"WE GIVE SPECIAL ATTENTION
TO OUTGOING ORDERS".
