I just need to fart!”Dance in the midst of the Daytona racePut arsenic make-up all over my faceFall on my sword, hang myself from a beam,Should I go out with a whimper or scream?Listen to music so loud my ears burstChoke on a huge piece of warm liverwurstFall down the shaft of an old elevatorOffer my throat to a wild alligatorGet shot by bullets, whether small or largeTie myself up to the front of a bargeJump off a bridge into waters so deepStand in the road and get hit by a JeepFall from the Empire State Building’s topPull a toy gun on a frustrated copDon’t forget illness – I hope I get sickA nice dose of bubonic plague is the trickOr maybe something that would remove my smileLike fever I get from the African NileEat some old blowfish not cooked the right wayLie under elephants as they do swaySmack a big Rottie smack dab in his faceTime to check out from this poor human raceNow I lay down as the sun mounts the skyTime to retire, get off-stage and dieNo one will miss me, I’m quite sure of thatHey! Maybe I’ll go like that Cat in the Hat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bel Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ah, Phil, the Prolific Poetic Pyrate, even now the late great Doctor is rolling with laughter in his crypt. I'm just rolling on the living room floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
