Appointment

He called toll-free for an appointment with Pain
Twenty years in advance next December
  They squeezed him in 'tween two elderly gents
  "Bring your wrinkles and aches, please remember."

The girl said "Hmmmm" shaped in a frown
"I'm afraid there's one last bill to pay."
  He glanced in the mirror and lo and behold
  There was his coffin so gray.

I gotta say - that last line was a little chilling - in a good(ish) way?
