The Ultimate Climax

Living a long life can be at times trying, 
when people you've known are moving on, dying..
Eventually we all come to the end of that road.
It's best to get prepared, not just be that squashed toad..
Larry passed from lung cancer from his years in the navy..
Karen died of cancer too, of which she fought most bravely..
My dad went peacefully while he was asleep.  
Micheal left while on the toilet. Good grief!
Be by accident, disease, or so-called natural causes, how
does one prepare for the "d" day that befalls us?
1. Be a good scout and prepare for the unseen and
    pay close attention to your personal hygiene.
    First responders who will arrive on the scene, much
    prefer a fresh corpse and one that's mostly clean...
2. Before fate propels you to heavens gates or up 
    to the skies, get those finances in order and try
    to downsize.
 3.If your blessed with a good ticker, consider
    donating a body part. Some one out there whose suffering
    might possibly need you're heart.
 Death is the ultimate climax of life so be prepared to eliminate strife.
