Do you want an axe to lop

off your aching head?

Or while asleep your heart to stop

then you’re stink’n dead.


Lose all you have or will have

in a head on crash.

Freeze to death while smoking

some Middle Eastern hash.


Mr. Fate says you’ll die tomorrow,

middle of the night.

He says you get to choose

the method and the site.


Choose the mode in which you lose

life’s fragile, precious spark.

You have time on this Earth.

Time for one last snide remark.


You may choose the method

your body loses living soul.

In the dead of heat

or skiing fluffy snow.


Die while saving someone

from a five alarm fire.

You say you’re ready for death,

but I know you’re an f’n liar.


It is true my friend,

on this Earth, you are almost done.

Just thirty-six hours more,

to have a little fun.


Normally you wouldn’t know

the place nor the hour.

Fate foretold you choose your death

even choose your flowers.
