Now Second Lease of Life

Who Says It's the End -
It is winter here
my Dear

My wife's widowed friend
decided to go

she had been admitted
to an ICU
by her son
who sent me so many messages
save my mommy
do come

I sent him an sms
I had met with an accident
hurt myself all over
how can I come.

My spouse kicked me
get up you are not yet dead
she is dying
save his only mommy

I can't I yelled
she was not happy

Okay

I sat up
you give another lease of life
to me
I am happy

and
your friend will also not yet say
Good Bbye

As soon as we reached the ICU
they said
she had just been transferred
I was wondering

where to MORTUARY

No- to the private ward
I sighed met the sonny boy
smiled

then met her
she opened her eyes
and said
Hi
went off into anaesthesia
we were all happy
she was now sleepy

Went to the club
had a drink or two
dinner and dance too

Tired just returned

ALL WERE HAPPY

Me too
he too
she too
wife'y also

Hurray
there must be a God
hiding somewhere

POST SCRIPT

The LADY is back home
No vacancy in heaven
Heavily booked....
Happy for her loving son!

amid the very funny lines, funny is a deep an lovely sarcasm, like

I mean, that is funny. Great to have a humor about these things.

think you meant you're, not your.....

My spouse kicked me
get up YOU'RE not yet dead

I like this:
My wife's widowed friend

like it was her choice...very funny stuff!

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance
ee cummings

I smile daily
before I sleep
will I ever rise again
Then I see
I am having bed tea

Thanks Eumol
for the read
I shall amend the typos indeed
