L M H God Speed R I P

Both love's and dream's astray

Pleasantly unaware

Death is making it's merry way

Unto my very own front door

Yet both sadly and unfortunately

To my bemusement and surprise

He never thought to break or lighten
the mood

With a knock , knock joke

He just jumped in both feet 1st

And instantaneously proceeded
to usher me away

Not even did he even stop to think
for a 1 single minute or give me a 
second after thought horah 

Let alone afford me any time at all

To let me wave or utter a 1 final last
goodbye

Otherwise I imagine poor 
L.M.H
God rest his soul in peace

May have taken the time to write
us all here on the Soup

1 final piece of poetry of and in his
own imitable word's and way 

So as in order to complete and place
the final piece in his particular puzzle 

1 very last final remaining poem

Before both his word's and pen were
forevermore to be retired eternally
