My untimely demise

My untimely demise A Poem by debileah (for a contest)

 

I could slip on a banana and fall to the floor.

Receive a concussion and knock on death's door!

 

I could take flight on an airplane ride.

With my kind of luck it would fall from the sky!

 

Through my window could come a burgler.

He might be my gruesome murderer!

 

Could it get any worse?

Should I be run over by my very own hearse!

 

A thousand ways I could surely die.

I could jump off the highest of bridge's tonight!

 

A might die a slow death from cancer.

This I choose not to be the answer!

 

I could die at the point of the barrel of a gun.

An astroid could collide with the sun.

 

I may take a bottle of poisonous pills.

But I might get the chills.

 

I could catch some deathly strain of the flu.

Coughing and hacking and turning blue.

 

Should I predict my future's doom...

I could die by my sword in my own bedroom.

 

I may die in combat with a forest ranger.

Or cross the path of a deranged strangler.

 

When the moment arrives for my untimely demise.

I shall die naturally in my lovers arms as I rest in peace.
