What If
What if....?
Death was a lottery,
With a Powerball price of a million dollars
Would people still queue up to play?
What if death was a clock, and you had one option
To either fast forward, pause, or rewind it; What would your option be?
What if death was a bank, and one could advocate with it;
Request death forgiveness, death deferment, or death forbearance?
What about death refinancing or death equity?
What if death was like a touch tone phone
And one could put death on hold;
Press zero to bypass angels of death at the reception;
And pally or advocate directly with death?
What if death was a court,
And one could ask for an interlocutory injunction,
Or death arbitration or death adjournment?
What if death was a wish,
Would beggars still elect to ride, or bolt like Usain?
What if death was cash and carry,
Would the rich, high and mighty,
Be so generous with their cash, as they are to brand names like:
Ferrari, Bugatti and Louis Vuitton?
Or would they chicken out like a cold Turkey?
What if death was a rain check
Would people Queue up to cash in on it?
What if death was like a set of clothes
And one could change from it
Like a Snake discards it's old and worn out skin?
What if death was a marathon
Who would elect to first breast the tape?
What if death was a school or an exam,
And one could do a remediation, carry death over,
Or select another elective?
What if death was a widow,
Would people still accept a widows might? What if.....?
