Death Notice

[KEEF]

In our local paper tonight. Starts with the following.....Died somewhat resentfully

The deceased must have read Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Nice. I guess most of us would be.

Nice. I guess most of us would be.

Depends upon the circumstances. Death would have been a welcome alternative to the excruciating pain that I was suffering when I had chronic cellulitis.

I have this bizarre feeling that I'll smile when I die. The bus having finally arrived.

Though it'd be a curious smile if I could see my dismembered limbs on the opposite side of the carriageway.

Those that think there's 76 virgins waiting for them in heaven might not be all that resentful.

Those that think there's 76 virgins waiting for them in heaven might not be all that resentful.

They might be when they discover the virgins are not of the opposite sex.

A bit too late then, "ah well, in for a penny in for a pound."

I read out the obituaries from our local press for the talking newspapers for the blind and some of them are bizarre! One read. 'I long for the day our Kathleen joins you'!

 

[KEEF]

I have visions of this person in a strop and shouting... I don't believe it..what in the name of bloody hell...in the name of sanity et cetera et cetera

Those that think there's 76 virgins waiting for them in heaven might not be all that resentful.

They might when they find out it's not true
