If I Do Not Wake Up Tomorrow

If I do not wake up tomorrow my school will not close down
My replacement will be hired within a month.

If I do not wake up tomorrow someone else will drive my car
I like to think my car will care but I doubt she will.

If I do not wake up tomorrow will vultures start dividing my junk?
If so, I hope I will get to watch and laugh.

Darlene De Beaulieu February 21, 2020 at 1:55 PM Hello Caren, when someone dies and the family gathers to go through the person's items. there are vultures will grab everything and leave little for the others to keep. i know this because this happened to me. have a nice day my friend. Caren Krutsinger February 22, 2020 at 10:16 PM It happens in every single family. I swear.

Line Gauthier February 21, 2020 at 8:34 AM Love that last line, Caren. Funny. Love the contrast of greedy vultures and "junk" ie possessions that only have emotional value. Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2020 at 12:58 PM Thanks Line.

Arturo Michael February 21, 2020 at 4:47 AM Many do not have tomorrow...even those who awake but are dead of sorrow...I can only guess nothing really matters but now...Thoughts of mind... Caren Krutsinger February 21, 2020 at 12:58 PM Thanks for the smile.
