Knocking on Death's DoorA Poem by Randy JohnsonEVEN THOUGH THIS IS A FICTIONAL POEM, MANY PEOPLE DO DIE BECAUSE THEY PICK THE WRONG KIND OF MUSHROOMS TO EAT.I didn't want to pay for some mushrooms so I picked some in the woods. They turned out to be poisonous even though I thought they were good. I'm in big trouble, I'm knocking on Death's door. In less than an hour I won't be alive anymore.
I'm really scared because I don't want to die. I'm hugging my wife and kids as I say goodbye. I was wrong when I thought that those mushrooms were edible. Never try to guess which mushrooms are good unless you're a professional. © 2014 Randy Johnson |
