This was based on an old joke about three men revealing how they wanted to die. The first wanted to be a race car driver and crash in a blaze of glory. The second wanted to die a hero on the battlefield. The last one is in the poem.

The way to go out: Shot by a jealous husband At ninety years old!

Drawn in by the alluring title... surprised by the Haiku. Put a smile on my face, so thanks for that!

This was inspired by an old joke about three men talking about how they wanted to die. The first one wanted to be a race car driver and die in a flaming accident. The second wanted to die in glory on a batllefield. The Frenchman: Shot by a jealous husband at ninety years old!
