If you were going to die how would you like to go?

[Peoplesoft bloke]

Sadly, it's not if, but when, however in the words of Roger McGough:

Let me die a young man's death
not a clean and inbetween
the sheets holywater death
not a famous-last-words
peaceful out of breath death

When I'm 73
and in constant good tumour
may I be mown down at dawn
by a bright red sports car
on my way home
from an allnight party

Or when I'm 91
with silver hair
and sitting in a barber's chair
may rival gangsters
with hamfisted tommyguns
burst in and give me a short back and insides

Or when I'm 104
and banned from the Cavern
may my mistress
catching me in bed with her daughter
and fearing for her son
cut me up into little pieces
and throw away every piece but one

Let me die a young man's death
not a free from sin tiptoe in
candle wax and waning death
not a curtains drawn by angels borne
'what a nice way to go' death

What do you mean "if you were going to die"? We're all going to die.

vinegar strokes n. male The final, climactic stages of intercourse or masturbation. ... The phone rang just as I was getting onto the vinegar strokes. ...

Thanks SAS - still a bit of an odd discription...

I really can't see myself dying actually

I thought you had died trying to answer my questions on the ask beaker thread.
And when will you answer my questions?
