Loved your poem about those <br />carefully-prepared but slightly <br />mis-timed, Famous Last W... <br /> <br />but as Lazarus said, there's always <br />the replay factor.. though not many of us <br />get to check back on our timing <br />or so we might think but then who knows <br /> <br />but the audience, they have <br />to live with it: a farmer friend <br />saw to the cattle, came back in, <br />had his supper, suddenly said to her <br />I've got to go m'dear <br />she said oh won't you stay for a cuppertea <br />he said no I've got to go <br />and dropped down dead <br /> <br />she remembers the conversation all too clearly<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-for-andy/
