I should wear a permanent label
tattooed either on my back
or maybe across my lower belly
‘best before 1978’
with an expiration date:
‘useless after 2028’
a list of ingredients:
‘independent, yet social, loving,
dependable, intelligent and caring’
and notes on best performance:
‘functions best with sweets and
one bottle of red wine per day’
throw in some certifications:
‘certified lunatic’
with a warning about the risks:
‘has tendency to explode
if not handled properly’
lastly, do not forget the disposal notes:
‘when expired, do NOT discard
with trash, incinerate.’

Love this one Fred - original yet instantly recognisable.
You forget the bit "Explodes if neglected" and "if seen dejected, may respond well to alcohol"
WARNING "Not to be unwrapped in company"
Good fun writing mate.
Ha ha - big grins after reading what would go down well in the tattoo market with some folk I know - - as for me the following phrase would be in bold letters - i.e. has tendency to explode if not handled properly’ - ha - -- - great read Fred.
Very creative, Fred. ENJOYED !
Good fun write Fred, I agree.

Oh lol, good write Fred.
I had a label, or rather someone pinned to my back, when I started singing. it said 'Out of order!' Doh!
Woah cool clever poem , it's nice to give off warning labels, I think we all should come with one. Great idea! Kudos!
I wouldn't want to be incinerated though, sounds too painful and vanishing ESP for the loved ones to see you disappear like that, I couldn't bear to see a dead body burnt even if it may not feel the pain itself.
