A Thousand Ways To Die Poem by Pontsho PCP Pusos

1.
Find the one
Call and inbox her
Dine and wine her
Grovel and beg for her love
Watch your pride snigger and mock you

2.
Be with the one
Concert and movie with her
Shop and cook for her
Vacation and pamper her
Have your friends disfavour and disown you

3.
Betroth the one
Ring and jewel her in gold
Defer and refer to her
Pine and ache for her praise
Watch your opinions desert and disdain you

4.
Marry the one
Search her a silver lined carriage
Get her a horse and pedestal
Deify and worship her
Behold your happiness run and hide behind her

…
…
…

998.
Lose the one
Lose your will to live
Leave your faith at her alter
Foretell of another life enjoined
Have your spirit disjoin and curse you

999.
Divorce the one
Break her glory fall on your back
Repel your house and money
Forsake your own blood for spirit waters
Behold your loneliness ruin and besmirch you

1000.
Live without the one
Bespeak of glories past
Sing of sweet flowers once held
Extol focus and ambition long dead
See yourself half the man you once were
