Close Shaves and Final Cuts

I'll leave it entirely up to you .. 🤍

Close Shaves and Final Cuts

 

When they shave me for

the last time,

   

as they always tend to do ..

Please be sure

that they use my old razor,

or a proper one

and most definitely not one

that has been

borrowed or some electric

   whirring thing ..

Oh’ and if by chance they

should fail to

nick my waxy chin, cheeks,

or saggy jowls,

just be sure that, I forgive

you and indeed

everyone absolutely every

   single thing ..

But please, make sure that

the guy with

the razor makes a test cut

before applying

any rouge or makeup they

   think necessary ..

And should by any chance

I bleed at all

during the above outlined

   procedure ..

Then reschedule all planned

celebrations

and go get a decent physician

   out to me pronto ..

Author's Note

be harsh, be brutal, I shall not feel a thing ..

I've ordered an open casket, with me unshaved and wearing my huffle-buffs and I've even included scratches on the interior lid, just in case anyone tries digging me up at any time.
I've also asked the make up artist to use Michael Jackson's thriller for inspiration! 😃

You mustn't joke about these sort of things Loz .. You have no idea just how much I care, do ya .. Did you listen to my last Vocaroo .. 🐧💛🍷xx

Hope you're intending to leave us just yet? I'd miss reading your poetry!

A frank and sincere poetic request with an enjoyable wry twist at the end!!
