The Grim Reaper Called

Listen to poem:
My wife passed away today , my sadness knows no bounds Then a few months later the grim reaper called for me. The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name I told him yours and then merrily went on my way. The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name I told him I was baby sitting my grandson and sent him on his way. The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name I told him it is raining and to come back on another day. The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name I told him I was going my daughters wedding and to go away. The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name I told him i would join him as I cant live without my wife another single day .
