THOUGHTS OF DEATH (1)

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

 

My friends grow old and another departs,

And with his passing I reflect:

I’ll have to share heaven with a load of old farts.

    Love the sentence at the end, gave me quite the smile on a short poem dedicated to a dear one, my condolences. Wonderful poem.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Adam - another one like it tomorrow.

    • Goldfinch60

      Yes, I will be there as well, shall we share a bottle of red or white?

      • Michael Edwards

        Red for - a Merlot - maybe not one of the best varieties but to my mind one of the most consistent and reliable.

        • Goldfinch60

          OK I shall bring the glasses.

        • orchidee

          Aww, are they all farts?! Oohh! lol.

          • Michael Edwards

            Hummmm - should I have marked this for over 18s - am I in trouble?

            • orchidee

              Me 18+ watchdog might bark (woof! not now Rover!). heehee.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Ha ha ha - who but you could think up an last line like that !! A smilngly good read.

              • Michael Edwards

                If you don't smile you might just as well be dead so keep smiling !!

                That'll be a smelly place! I do so hope that you don't find a certain 'trump' there as well.

                • Michael Edwards

                  We'll all be trumping up there - do they serve baked beans in heaven?

                  • dusk arising

                    And the angels dined upon peas pudding before their trumpet practice.

                    McTavish is dead ~ an' his Brother don't know it
                    His Brother is dead ~ an' McTavish don't know it
                    There's both o' them dead ~ an' they're in the same bed
                    And neither one knows that t'other one's DEAD !
                    At the inquest they blamed CO from parafine heater !

                          Haha! You too funny. They gonna smell it up?

                          • Michael Edwards

                            You bet - with cow dung - put the washing out for that fresh smell and it came in smelling like .....yuk. But I love living in the country with the open vistas and livestock.
