Don't believe, for one second,
They'll hear nice things from me.
Were you dying for some kind of originality?
Well, let me just say,
It's still death by stupidity.
I'm telling you now,
I have nothing to say.
No one will hear of your generosity
(though we all benefitted) ;
Or your loyalty (of which I know firsthand) ;
Your discretion (none ever accused you of less) .
I can't find the words. I'm speechless.
I warned you.
Stop smoking (both)
Stop drinking (especially every morning, afternoon and evening)
Stop being idle (and your posture sucks)
Stop being a lap dog (stop licking boots)
Stop this slippery slope of a lifestyle (there's ground below)
Stop taking bad advice.
You didn't Stop.
Now you're stopped.
That's all I have to say. Not much. Is it?

Francie, this heart wrenching poem is a departure from your very humorous poetry. And necessarily so! Your truly heart-felt poem shows the compassion and empathy that you have towards your much loved friend. So very refreshing in today's society. A poem of huge importance!
