D i e Carefully
Please die carefully:
Don’t spill your guts on our pavements,
Or disturb our peace
With the noise of your expiry.
Please die carefully:
Roadside explosions will not
Be tolerated;
Local byelaws prohibit such things.
Please die carefully:
Preferably out of view;
A headline in the paper
To prove that you passed through.
(Thank you for driving carefully
Through our village).
