Susie's Epitaph

That muffled sound you hear is Susie.
She’s still talking. What a doozie!
At her appointed time to die, 
her mouth refused, and that’s no lie.

I know this woman, and I cannot stop laughing. When she enters the break room at work, people leave, as she never pauses for anyone else to speak.
