The Not-Deceased, Age 60

This no-bituary appears in print,
not to tell you where and when he went
it's merely just to give a hint
he's started on a brand new stint

Forget-you-not's at all his intent,
you'll still see him if you kind of squint
please do not cry; do not lament
he's merely paused on this ascent

In lieu of flowers, please do consent
to a donation of roughly ten percent
(as long as that won't leave you skint)
fond memories, for to supplement
