George's Last Words ~~ A Pome


The note they found
Next to George's body
Said,
Simply,
They told me
That before killing myself
I should talk to someone.
Anyone.
I thought about it,
And there really wasn't
Anyone
I wanted to talk to.
Not even myself.
So here I am.

*  *  *  *  *

Well... I thought it was funny.

Thanks for your time.

  2. That's too bad, talking can be very helpful, and cheaper than therapy.

    Has anyone told you that you have a twisted sense of humor? :)

    1. Several people!

      Spider-man once said "Who needs a shrink, when a guy has himself to talk to? A guy who talks to himself, that's who!"

    2. Well, I've talked myself down from the ceiling on more than one occasion, but that's just me. I didn't remember that Spiderman was so profound. :)

    3. The line I quoted was from somewhere between 1973-1977, so don't feel bad for having missed it. :)

    1. And, possibly, one of those who was "lonely by choice," if I may (perhaps) coin a phrase?

    1. There's a difference between being lonely and merely being alone, of course...

    2. Of course...I seem to resonate well to both ;)

    1. I currently have no internet connection at home, Kris. That, plus a few other variables I won't bother getting into right now, has seriously curtailed all internet activity for the nonce.

  8. Well, my dear Silver, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think I'd actually prefer that silly Cream of Mushroom soup can on my sidebar to this dead man's arm. Tell me what I have to do to get you to post again. I'll do anything. I promise. Just name it. Yes, I'm that desperate. lol....

  9. Hey...I caught this one...hmmm...I do love cream of mushroom soup though...especially alone with an entire sleeve of crackers and a TON of black pepper... Hope your well, Fox!

  10. A "sleeve," huh Tasha? Maybe that's what George's arm needs!
