Poem Artwork


 


Bet you really didn’t know,


I have long been dead,


A tag affixed to my big toe,


Hence the name you know, ED…


 


Its cold down here,


Bet you thought warm it would be,


Not talkin’ bout hell,


Couldn’t get in, sold out like it was free…


 


My grave still my crib,


Bars on my windows,


I still live in a cell,


While something nibbles at my right rib…


 


A part of me still grasping at life,


Died while under the knife,


At my wake they played the fife,


My imagination quite, as they say, rife…

Mayhaps you're beyond the insanity of this world, Ed; and that can't be all bad. Thanks, bro. Love and peace,

Is this our own eulogy? I think not but it wakes me up to mortality.
Well done.

Dead Ed - Fascinating! Your underground bunker sounds quite safe; and your imagination sounds in pretty good shape, too. But you need to get out once in awhile, and walk your dog!
