Death Of An Englishman Poem by Raymond Farrell

Death Of An Englishman

So and so (the name is unimportant)
Was a run-of-the-mill
Middle-Class Englishman of the day
Who was stressed for his entire life
About the possibility
Of doing something untoward
Died today
With a look of relief
On his age-worn face
He gave a great sigh of relief
According to family and friends
Gathered around his deathbed
Having managed to get through life
Without having done anything embarrassing.
