I’ve always found this purrfect…and it really is in my medical directive and my instructions in my will. The actual poem. Another one of my medical directives is if it looks like it is time to “pull the plug” some people ask that they be taken off the meds to see if they can regain consciousness enough to “say good bye” to love ones.
Not me Poet, my instructions in this case are:
“Get me high and let me die, hopefully we’ve said goodbye and now you no longer have to cry”
Hell if they don’t know I loved ’em and I didn’t know they loved me…what is the use of further pain? I ask you. ~~dru~~
Well Poet, I’d hardly call most of my stuff poetry but I’ve been making up ditties all my life. Really almost as soon as I could talk and I’ve written a lot of short stories for my nieces, nephews, and god children. I got one bouncing around in my brain box now for my grand god children and my youngest nephews but if I don’t get it down soon, the nephews will be too old. My Ground Hog has a bad Hair/Hare Day post was written for them.
No I don’t think I’m exactly run-of-the-mill. Oh and my whole directive and will are not completely in poetry…..just certain ditties are included to clarify what my meaning. ~~dru~~
Thanx Thumb maybe I should make you my executrix instead of “HE”. ~~dru~~
Loved it! May I post it on SlasherMonster?

I love the idea of writing your medical directives and will in poetry! That’s certainly unique, but something tells me you’re no run of the mill poet.
How many years have you been writing poetry?

Oh Poet, I just realized you asked if “Slasher Mag” could publish this…I’D BE HONORED!!! ~~dru~~
Excellent! It may take a few weeks. I’ll let you know 🙂
