Death Comes Knocking Poem by Fuzzy James

Nice (alright, maybe not so nice) emotions are expressed here. You are good at that, I can tell. But my fav part was the last four lines :) thanks for sharing.

Death knocked on my door last night, I opened up the door, I sighing to exhale my fright, “Is it me you’re looking for? ” I confessed my sins And welcomed him And bid him please step in, He checked his list In bony fist; (His eyes so hard and grim.) I sighed to leave This mortal life For death’s eternal shore; I eyed the summons, Said, “I ain’t coming; You meant the guy next door.” That night I went out to a bar And brought a woman home; I locked the door and shut the drapes And then unplugged the phone.
