I Do Not Want To Hear Crying

People who do not know me
ask me when I will retire.

My plan is this
To go out in a body bag
when my body stops working.

With a neon pink toe tag
but not in front of the children
I do not want to hear their crying

It might wake me up and
that would startle the EMTs.

Oh, it definitely would, I think. A pink toe tag? I think a neon pink toe tag!
