The Suicide Poem

One of these days, I'll learn how to write But I'm doing the best I can I'll probably never be Edgar Allan Poe Or any kind of famous man No one will ever know my name Or even hear my rhymes I've told myself it doesn't matter At least a million times For me this life is over There's no where else to turn The time has come for me to end it I guess I'll never learn Don't anyone try to stop me For it will do no good Things are just gonna happen The way I knew they would It's time for me to kill myself Yes, It's time for the blood to flow How long does it take to die from a paper cut? Does anybody know?

Larry, Kim thinks you're serious about suicide. I think you're just being witty, especially after looking at the last two lines about bleeding to death from a paper cut. Please let us know you're okay! Love, Carolyn

Wait!!! Larry, You mustn't do it!!! Contrary to what you may believe, we do hear you; the crowd roars your name. If you insist, however, ...Nice knowin' ya, my friend.
