A humorous look at death, addressing realistic fears we all have about it.
I'm afraid I'll have to decline,
based on lack of information.
I've not received any brochures,
even on the destination.

I understand one of your policies
is that our bodies we do not keep,
but I've had mine for awhile
and without it I'd feel incomplete.

If I knew a little more,
I might reconsider.
Are you on facebook, Skype, maybe Twitter ?

I think we deserve to know a little more.
I think it's only fair.
Can we take one carry-on bag ?
Can we go in pairs ?

How do text without a face ?
Will my picture on Facebook be an empty place ?

So again I'm declining your offer of death.
It may work for some,
but for me I don't think it's best.
