Of all days not today!

Of all days not today!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Today is
the extension of self
where time
 applies age.

History is
tomorrow 
looking back
on today.

Mortality is
counting your
blessings
for another day.

Okay everyone
your time is up
and your life lessons are over.

Please had in your death certificate
at the front desk
and proceed to the graveyard.
You’ll like it,
it’s quiet,
it’s a little community
get together 
deep down there
with lots of flowers
scattered on top
with tombstones grey.
You’ll get all the rest
you will ever need.
The gardeners are very good
removing all those weeds
with deep tap roots
that may tickle your chin.
Enjoy your extended stay.
