Advanced Directive


 
Advanced Directive
 

If I should play the Ukelele, naked in the snow and rain.
If I should continue banging my head despite the pain.
If I should scream in Russian at passing cars.
If I should play the Grand Piano in smokey old jazz bars.
If I should dress like Napoleon and wear Wellington’s boots.
If I should jump on shooting stars and wear lime green zoot suits.
If I should join the army at forty two, raid the pantry and paint my head blue.
If I should cry God for Harry, England and St George whilst on a day trip to Cheddar Gorge.
If I should write a sonnet then place a black tulip upon it.
If I should drink white lightning and say something rather frightening.
If I should take the neighbour’s cat on a world cruise, bet her in poker and then lose.
If I should write abusive letters to the Western Mail.
Christen vicars and end up in jail.
Then Dear Sir/Madam
 
Please let me.
