HUMOR...?

Today I did die… Before my time, Today I did die, Seem to go many places, Saw many familiar faces… Told I did die too soon, Don’t know by whom, A voice from above? Seemed so full of love… My family, mom and dad, All there weirdly dressed in plaid, All were to see me quite glad, I seemed the only one a bit sad… I worried for Rufuz, my puppy, I wanted to work a bit longer on my new job, If I had had one, I would have worried about my guppy, They did say I was not allowed to be dead, This day they were not accepting any yuppies… That pissed me off even more; I thought I was a hippy, Flew around to complain of my untimely death, I did so on wings quite zippy, To go back is what I wanted to do, To once again be alive and to catch a breath, Did complain to God and his angels till I was out of breath, Not sure what did happen, but as you can see, I am here, Life I right now and forever will always revere… © ed ~ 1/22/05

Who says complaining never works? Yeah, I'm going to appreciate what I've got too.

In a topsy-turvy, round-a-about but very poetic way, Eddie M, you kind of wrote an inspired invitation to us all to step back and appreciate just being alive! That's always a good thing, I'd say.

What's wrong with plaid, may I ask? I might prefer that over the blinding white they all seem to have on in the pictures... actually, I think I'll request herring-bone... yeah, that's it. Oh, and not a single one of us would doubt that you would have "zippy wings"... can you get me some? Yippee!! I love this... and I'm glad it's NOT TRUE! katy xox.

This is interesting Ed. But I had one too and sometimes I wonder about the condition of my condition.

Glad to hear you made it back from your Near Death Experience, my friend - not many do. And some interesting info you've shared - Plaid is worn in the After Life, very interesting, indeed. But I must say, the most startling news was that you were called a Yuppie. Wow! It must have been a case of Mistaken Identity, and they were calling a different Ed Matlack.
