Death Is a Gentleman

Death, He is a gentleman. Why? So you might ask. He invites you to his caravan, And offers you His flask. He is polite and courtly. With manners yet unmatched. You'll arrive in Heaven shortly, Following a primrose path. He will treat you as a peer, You are assured of that. You have not a thing to fear When He tips His weathered hat. Oh, Death, how kind You be, For You eradicate my misery.
