Once made a solemn vow
to be the one first to go,
prophecied it was eons ago,
even if were others in tow;
yet prayed for it once more,
why such furore, asked folks crore,
coz to me loss of pleasure,
greater than pain’s measure;
then why not gone in such anguish,
coz hope flutters and can’t squish,
of immortal writings and conquest,
yet unbearable burden of the test;
yet soon I will go,
without much ado.
