I do not like
people
dying
in their sleep

For one
thing
it
could
happen
to
me

And
what if
I have on
really ratty
pajamas?

What if I am
not discovered
for
a long time
and
stink
just plain stink
to
high
heaven?

I do not like
people
dying
in their sleep

For one
thing
I did not get
to
say
anything
except
maybe
“good night”
if
I
even said that
before
he
or
she
went off to
the
endless
beddy
bye

Beddy
bye

Damn,
a
new
concept
in
mortality

Still
so
many
say they
prefer
to die in their sleep

I would
rather
be
awake
and
have some
sense
of
something

something

I
do not like
people
dying
in their sleep
so
I will
immediately
become a
member
of the Legislature
and
will
outlaw
it!

Anyone who
violates
will be punished
to
the absolute
fullest
extent
of
the
law

Oh,
damn,
shoot…
they’d already
be
dead
(never mind)

Well
it is
hard to police
these
things

I wil
just
ask:
If you die
in
your
sleep
at
least
try to
make
sure
to
wake me
with
the
sunrise
to remind me
of
why
each day
is
a
blessing
