THE END OF A PERFECT WAY
THE END TO A PERFECT WAY
I've tried to please,
put others at ease
went out of my way to be friendly
clean smart warm of heart
innovative, regarded as trendy.
Heard New year day chimes eighty eight times
seen the reigns of four different Monarchs
heard George the fifth, do the first Christmas speech
and MP's disingenuous bollocks.
Unaccomplished, pleasant of mind
academically non inclined
pragmatic, logical thinker
able, efficient, do things without fuss
"So "IF" life's an exam...I'll get a B plus".
Each night I shower, drink a large glass of wine
don a white dressing gown purchased on line
expensive materials, trimmed with black.
from the finest Tailor bespoken.
Climb into bed, bones protest with a crack
hands crossed on chest, lying flat on my back
a position I've trained to hold steady.
Then if I'm taken, during the night.
They'll find me laid out...Oven ready.

Oven ready? Love it!
You may never get any contribution to your funeral from Forward but you give us cost-free chuckles that are worth
more.
I start by lying on my back but need to turn sideways to
occupy a sort of get set position prior to starting for the
Land of Nod. It works for me.
