Rumors of My Death

You should have seen the startled look on their face when they saw me walk up after they had heard I was dead! It was such a funny expression.

 

They said they heard I had died.
Someday that will be true ,
but don’t get rid of me yet
‘ause I have more living to do.
 
When Major Burns’ obit appeared,
people clipped it and gave to me.
The headlines truly had my name
but I’m not that actor you see.
 
So like Mark Twain’s rumors of death
had been so exaggerated,
since we both come from the same state
perhaps we could be related.
 
So I’ll get back to my living
if that isn’t really too bold
and try to keep busy each day
and become very, very old.

Hi Larry, Always live boldy, especially when there are rumours of your death.. I'm sure Mark Twain did the same... so you must be related... great write... thank you for sharing...

I don't think God will be calling you any time soon, He told me He has a full load of Saints up there and don't know yet what to do with them. LOL
Now, don't be a stranger and don't keep us guessing, is he...? is not? LOL
Happy to have you back!

Georg

Glad to see you're still around, Larry - that would put a look of surprise on people's faces! Well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
