OH NO YOU DON'T!

my death
rose up
within me

eager to be
alive
in this world

walk about
in my place
"Well..well!" I smirked

"Whose getting
a bit ahead of it self?"
Death laughed sheepishly

"Looked like you...
...were on your last legs!"
it looked about nervously

"Oh yeah?" I said
"Yeah!" it said  unable
to look me in the eye

"I hope in future
you will know your place?"
I scolded it

"Ok...ok!" Death sulked
not knowing
where to look

"Don't get
your soul
in a twist!"

Death went
to chat with
my ghost

I could hear 'em
grumbling but couldn't
make out what was said

wondering what
they were up to
and what they were planing

I laughed
they scowled
I went for a pint
