Die Easily Whenever Required Poem by Margaret Alice

A beautiful sunny day, I worked
on my document, then tried an
experiment, ate some fish just
to establish whether I’m still
allergic and to desensitize my-
self; an ancient King became
inured to all kinds of poisons by
imbibing small amounts of poisons
daily, therefore I must overcome
by the same means; but he had to
kill himself by falling in his sword
when his death was required;
were he but still vulnerable,
an easy dose of poison would
have served him well - maybe
I should keep the allergy as a
last resort when things go awry
and life becomes unbearable;
I’m happy to report my stomach
burns and my head is sore; I’m
still as allergic as before – I shall
be able to die quite easily
whenever required!
