Project Manager Needed Asap

She was the shrink I was crazy Depressed is the clinical name All I wanted was a blood bath With me as the victim Perhaps a leap from a tall building (I’m afraid of heights) Or a good old fashion hanging (keep with tradition) Overdose (seems too easy) Maybe the classic razor to the wrist (to cliché) Gun shot to the head (to messy) None of these would due It needed to be creative. I wanted to go out like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelley Dancing madly backwards In the rain, of all places for Christ sakes And get run over by the A Train. While Count Basie’s Orchestra is swinging its ass off Or Sting is singing Roxanne. It needs to be like a wedding, a celebration if you will "Bon voyage Mr. Kilmer you’re off to the darkness Send us a postcard if you can. We understand, but if anyone can do it you would be the one!" Then of course there’s the note… How many people can you thank or make cry? It would be like the Emmy’s where you get cut off by some crummy music I mean sweet Jesus can’t a person just say a few words on his own behalf And not have to deal with rules and regulations? There is nothing in this world that is easy. I can’t even die without a project manager and a caterer. Seems like such a waste of time. Maybe I’ll have my toenails painted instead.

What an entertaining way to contemplate one's demise. Super creativity right down to painting your toenails. I would like to know what color :)

I like Kathy's suggestion, purple with glitter!

dear Stephen - I love you - not in a eulogy - but with purple toenails with glitter. Kathy
