These days 'Death' dresses with more flair.
Looks more prestigious, debonair.
New gold watch shows that he does care.
When 'your time's up' he'll be right there!
```
He ditched his scythe it's obsolete.
These days the Reaper's more discrete.
Without it will be bittersweet,
not easy being indiscreet.
```
He's decked out in tales and top hat,
don't be fooled by any of that!
He's more bad luck than a black cat.
Death's one cat you don't wanna pat!
```
His persona he can't disguise,
stay clear of him I would advise.
In a heartbeat you'll realize.
'Tis too late you've met your demise!
```
His fake charade is appalling;
he's a slimeball, in sheep's clothing.
Your life and death is his plaything
and he don't care "who's bell he'll ring"~

The reaper geezer turns up here this time:
His visit means a finale will be mine;
But "Go on - sod off I’m not quite ready yet”
Went next door instead – thick as a briquette.
Strained rhyme today – more interested in relieving him of his gold watch before he went next door. You don’t come the Flash Harry round here and get away wiv it….
Forgiving the ‘Muahahaaaaa!’ - a really disciplined write, Thad.
Howdy Dave!! 👋 🐶 👹
