Statement of Fact…


 


When we die, we do in fact reach our ends,


Sometimes we do die when diving with the bends,


Some people I have known have died.


Due to the fickle problems regarding fashion trends…


 


This road did end in the right place I do portend,


How many of those folks buried there do you think did ascend?


Personally I would think that most did go the other way, yes descend,


I guess it does not matter, as long as they all did at least transcend…


 


Don’t like do I to do anything that may be considered condescending,


For if I were, I would have to be arrested,


By the poetry police, yes apprehended,


I hope you have understood herein what I have penned,


I have to be quite honest and not in anyway pretend,


Sometimes even I do find it hard to, myself, comprehend…
