Rendezvous With the Reaper

I can’t remember the date of my death
For the life of me.
I scribbled it down on a fragment of brown
Paper bag. Now where can it be?

For I’d hate to miss out on that vital event;
I have to be there,
With everyone dressed in their ebony best—
Else they’ll think I had nothing to wear!
