Famous

I told my wife I'd be famous A poet "extraordinaire" So I asked for any words of wisdom Or advice she'd like to share She said, "Who are your favorite Poets?" "Poe and Frost", I said She said, "Those are truly famous men Have you noticed they're also dead?" I said, "Just wait one minute there woman" "What are you trying to say?" She said, "You can't be famous until you die, It always ends that way" Well, that part got me to thinking And that's when I took a deep breath I said, " Now I know what I have to do I'll just have to fake my own death" She said, "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, You haven't written a poem yet" "You can't be famous if there's nothing to read" "How stupid can you get?" So on my tombstone, a poem is found I wrote these words instead Here lies Larry, "Poet Extraordinaire" Famous, though he's not really dead
