"Nothing exceeded quite like excess"

What She Meant After All

last things last

Excuse me for leaving such a mess
May those I have trespassed forgive me
May they remember the best of me
But may not my follies outlive me

Save my books and burn the rest of me

Better save all that music I wrote
I suppose as I think about it
Having poured myself into each note
Perhaps some choir could sing (or shout) it

Nothing exceeded quite like excess
Always "colorful" (if not frugal)
I was quite a character I guess
Just spare me the bagpipes and bugle

I recall how Grandma said "the less
Said the better" and now I can see
What she meant after all (and agree)

No Steve Grandma was wrong on this one, a poet and a writer must write...it is there duty and there passion as a musician must play, a singer must sing, an actor must act...we must write our words to keep the world articulate with the other arts. Seasons Greetings old friend from Felix.

God Bless,

This epitaph christens the world once again with your genius. I think the bagpipes would rather suit your style - hitting raw emotions, such pathos in sympathy.
