A TIDY MAN
A TIDY MAN
My ghost came
to see me off.
"Just thought I
would introduce myself.
"You see...I'm you
in a few hours time
when you've shaken off
( as the cliche goes )
this mortal coil
as it were."
"Is this the done thing?"
I enquired politely
"...not to sure of
the protocol...so to speak?"
"I'm not used to being dead..."
I excused myself.
"Oh it's the new Heavenly Scheme
introduced by Him Above!"
I tried to catch my breath.
Found I couldn't.
"Oh well...let's
get on with it!"
So I hung my soul up
on the back of the door.
The wardrobe was packed tight
with all the selves I'd ever been.
I folded my life up
neatly.
I was always
and forever
a tidy man.
