I Might Die Now, Girlie... Poem by Josephine De Leux

That cricket bat, yea, the one thats over there?
It's english willow, daftie, so mind, don't hit yer head.
The kettle on the counter...where else would I darn put it?
What? a home? Darn no use, kids these days...
can't even be bothered to feed a toothless relative.

No good boyfriend...told you so...here have a tissue...
he had a face like a rats #$$...He ain't worth this aggreviation, girl!
Promise? Darl, the only promise he would've kept was to get inside your...wha? me? Intruding?
...Well, dont come running to me next time, girl!

For god's sake, get out, don't snoop in here!
IIt's all going to charity, you understand?
no, not a dime, or a penny, and definately not, the jewelry.
Sue? Contest? what are you, American?
Don't you dare...Declared legally insane?
Get out, get out! ! ! Get out right now! ! !
YES NOW!

NOt call you...of course I know your name...you ain't worth your mama's name, thats all...oh, here we go, the waterworks...
It ain't gonna get you...(BANG) ...Lordy she has a temper...
Better call her daddy up to make sure shes right...Stubborn thing...

Yea, Alfred, I wanna change the will. leave it to charity?
You must be usin, Alf, and i don't like no funky lawyers...Bull$&$&. Would I say...no...Well, just damn make sure that girl's right...
Yea...yea...
Leave it to you...get out.

I may die now, girlie, if your lucky. WHa? shush! Did I say talk?
Wheezing? I ain't wheezing! !
And don't you dare come near me with that thing,
Nurse Busty...That's right...Where's the respect for the dying around here?
A womans gotta have dignity, you hear?
Bah.
You gonna ruin my last words too?
I may die now, girlie, but...
...I may die now..
...I..may...
...I....
