A Man in a Bar

A man in a bar

Said Aha!

I’m sure that I know who you are.

I’ve seen you on TV

He said

I said you can’t have

Because I am dead.

A man in a bar

Said “My car”

“It’s new and it hasn’t been far.”

I don’t care a jot

I replied

As I said to your friend,

I have died.

A man in a bar

Held a jar

Of something resembling tar

The smell was so strong

When the lid was released

But I couldn’t smell,

I’m deceased.

Do these men in a bar never listen?

Don’t they see how my skin doesn’t glisten?

There’s no glint in my eye

Do you want to know why?

It will happen to you when you die!
