The Last Laugh

[Truerenigma]

The Last Laugh

Make me laugh before I die
that I may wear a smile, though wry,
upon my death mask, and with luck,
(frankly, I never gave a fuck)
my few remaining friends will grin.
To laugh at death is not a sin;
indeed, the last breath should be fun
and bottled, as was Edison's.
How did they know which suck would send him
to his final, fateful ending?
Make no mistake when last I pull
on God's good air, one gasped lung full,
it's only to supply a laugh.
Please someone, take a photograph.

Truly, very fun. and inspired, I think. a smiling death mask—what an image!
