I say let me not die without agility!
Give me pills or a knife while I've ability..
to administer the blessed coup de grace.

A pile of compost can be my resting place!

PLEASE NOTE: if YOU have tried or are COTEMPLATING/considering/thinking of.....killing yourself, I strongly SUGGEST seeking counseliing/conversation with a 'counselor', a friend, or a religious leader (who is not close-minded about suicide)

The last man to be guillotined had a letter delivered just before the event. They put it in the box so he could read it later…….

This poem, though expressing some real feelings I might have, is not very entertaining, is it? IS IT! ! ? bri : )
