To die politely

I told a friend

Is my goal

Of my end

It’s there I will,

Leave all alone–

For once and for good

Where memories did once

Roam!

But,

To do so,

I thought would be a chore

Who would believe it

That I am now gone?

They would.

He would.

She would also and too—

The tenor and soprano

Who sang at the altar, lies, of my to-do?

And as they thought

I was fare-de-well,  I regained one last breath to say

Oh-what the hell

And then

Die politely I did

My dear sweet friends

Remember that

There is a world

That will eventually end….
