If I Can'T Die While Making Love

If I can’t die while making love
I want my last breath taken in the hot tub
If I can’t pass on in love’s embrace
I want to meet my maker with steam on my face

If I can’t perish with you on top
I want the hot water bubbling when my heart stops
If I can’t kick the bucket while fool’n around
I want the Jacuzzi humming to be my last sound

Hi Joe: Thanks for the comment on La Muerta. Maybe I'd rather go in a hot tub.

You are incorrigible Mr. Flach. I'm dropping dead into a empty hot fudge sundae dish. Happy Christmas (right?) love, Kathy

Hi Joe: So a jacuzzi is your second love. great write. I also enjoyed the Ann Landers poem. There's nothing like your first love, despite Ann Landers' advice
