Repeat of the four-year refrain
Pits demented versus insane
We who are pundits
Say please call it quits
And would toast their obits with champagne

Reading obits Frank had quite a surprise
There he learned of his untimely demise
'Twas beyond his belief
But he read with relief
'Twas another Frank with a name likewise

Poor absent minded
Amos Magoo!
He used to be Keeper
Down at the zoo.
But his name was included
On today's obits page.
He tried putting a tiger
In a parakeet cage

I do not know?
This is what they used to do,
Grandpa's made their own rules,
Sit on verandah on sunny morn,
Read the sport, paper at dawn,
Then to read the obituaries,
Ensure still alive, you see,
Finally, they passed to glory,
Grandpas so loved, their story!

Free verse
Pill ads on TV are so very shrill
They tend to make me nauseously ill
First they tout their benefits
Then warn you might hit the pits
Named in obits for swallowing their pill

You wonder what he does all day
watch tv or morbid play
perhaps he cruises the mall
the young to take one and all
or maybe to the library go
peruse obits of so and so
his favorite place the cemetery
his great success brings serenity
if you have no still figured yet
tis Sir Grimly, the king of death

The Final Game
now in these years
called senior by name
is it the final game
friends live today
next day may be gone
will they see the new dawn
obits are read
each morning these years
will today bring some tears
senior days pass
like game of roulette
is it hit or miss yet

I pay no attention to sports
I turn off the weather report
Pretty girls don’t attract me
No more do mosquitoes attack me
I read the obits and emit a long sigh
Thinking, there but for the grace of God goeth I…
A backed-up sewer full of manure
Made me gag; I was so immature
Today it bothers me not in the least
~ Life on this earth is just leased
