A parody on the poem If I Should Die To-night.
This was a poem I had to write for English class while we were doing parodies. Plese feel free to rate and review or e-mail me with any comments.

IF YOU SHOULD DIE TO-NIGHT

If you should die to-night
And I come to your cold body and say,
Not weeping of heartsick or your useless clay-
If your should die to-night,
And I will not come close to deepest grief and woe
And say:"Here is the ten bucks I owe,"
And stuff it back in my pocket.
You might arise in your large white cravat
And say, "You Bastard"

If you should die to-night
And I should come to your cold body and kneel,
Casping your bier, showing no grief at all
You say, if you should die to-night
And I should come to you, and there and then
Just even hint "like I'm gonna pay you that 10,"
You nighty arise the while,
I hope you drop dead again.
