Peacefully

Obituaries like to say About how someone died: "Peacefully at home" and yet, I wonder if they've lied. Just once I'd like to see in print That So-and-So passed on While kicking up the biggest fuss Until his strength was gone. When Dylan Thomas wrote, "Do not Go gentle," what he meant Was not to peacefully succumb. (I wonder how he went.) I hope that when my time arrives I throw a major fit And that my husband tells the truth If he posts an obit.
