I’VE DECIDED I’M NOT GOING TO EVER DIE- Poetry by guest Author Dan Flore III

when the time comes for me to die

I’m just going to say, no thank you

and go on living

I don’t want to die

so I don’t think I should

sure this goes against all reason and science

but I don’t really feel like dying

I enjoy baseball

and I’d hate to miss a Phillies game

I also like pizza

I’m deathly afraid of dying

so I figure why bother

the way I look at it is

why do something I don’t want to do?

it seems like a big hassle

what with your life ending and all

so I just don’t think I’m gonna do it
