It's you, my boy!<br>Me? I cried, as I held back,<br>You must be nuts, now listen Mac.<br>Don't kid around and tell that lie,<br>I'm really living, too young to die.<br>Well, I'm not kidding, sorry friend,<br>You've been informed, this is the end.<br>Your number's up, your goose is cooked,<br>You've a reservation, you're fully booked.<br>But, why pick me, what have I done?<br>Why come now and spoil my fun?<br>I'm quite happy here on earth,<br>Go! Now get, and take your berth!<br>No, I'm afraid I can't do that,<br>You had your turn, you were at bat.<br>You missed the play, no need to pout,<br>One, two, three --you just struck out!<br>I just won't go, I want to live,<br>I really have much more to give.<br>My outlook's strong, my willpower too,<br>I'll fight you off, that's what I'll do.<br>Your pleading is to no avail,<br>Too bad pal, now hit the trail.<br>Just lie back and rest your head,<br>This won't take long, you'll soon be dead.<br>I can't, I won't! Oh, no, you're right,<br>I guess I'll not live through the night.<br>But, there's one thing I'd like to know;<br>Do I go above --or down below?</p></b></font></blockquote></blockquote><hr color=0000ca size=3><center><font size=2 face=arial><b><a href=http://www.isavo.net/poem/sk6.htm>This Poem's Index Page 1</a><br><a href=http://www.yensa.net/poem/sk6.htm>This Poem's Index 2</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com/poems.htm>Poetry Website</a><br><a href=http://www.saviodsilva.com>Saviodsilva</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com>Isavo Site</a></b></font></center><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=http://www.saviodsilva.org/r/fantasy.js></SCRIPT></body></html>
