I'M Most Likely...

I took seven xanax
and just before retiring to bed
I secured a plastic bag around my head.
As you read this now, I'm most likely dead.
I most likely died very peacefully.
The best way to die is to die in your sleep.

effective, I'm sure Billy...but seriously lessons the chance for an instant replay as well as an afterthought. I hope the bag was defective.
