Inevitable demise courtesy grim reaper

Since advent of Homo sapiens

objection overruled against immortality

all across millenniums humans

generated, amplified, and

idly reverberated (Billy me) rebel yell,

when finality 'twixt consciousness

eternal existence doth die as well

grievous news laudable hospice staff did tell

us (meaning yours truly plus

his deux darling siblings), I

in addition to older and younger sister,

thru passionate love making

intercourse did propel

seeds of life embarking

upon parent trap role
til sands of time did runneth out, and

for whom (him) the death knell

bell tolled, now funereal shroud covers dell.

Born April 9th, 1929 - Hebrew

ancestry papa never witnessed affection,

whereby his father - a liberal Jew

(mine paternal grandfather)

purportedly gave nary a blues clue

about welfare regarding youngest son

christened Boyce Brandon Harris,

who harbored quashed feelings

glommed like figurative ague

nsync with chowing down

into his esophageal flue

peristalsis allowing, enabling,

and providing gurgling goo

gull faintly sounding

to (my lard) Doctor Seuss

eerily similar to Horton hears a hoo

after milk (deciduous) teeth

gave way to papa's adult choppers

(by George), whereby

he could thoroughly chew

heavily saturated high caloric ethnic cuisine

(albeit American, Chinese,

and eats of ethnic Jew),

which high cholesterol comestibles

probably contributed to congestive heart failure,

now plaguing papa on his deathbed - loo

zing his tenuous grip on life,

where rigor mortis will find his body

chilled courtesy cold storage queue.

I feel sad today (September 29^th, 2020)

and inconsolably weep,

cuz the man who helped beget me

after coroner pronounces

lovely bones lifeless heap

immediate fate most likely cremated

versus buried six feet deep

despite absence of his presence

cherished memories of his value,

yours truly will keep

plus recalling mine boyhood

chuck of full of bliss

particularly driving, fending, staving... off

bogeyman or any other menacing creep.
