Killing P-H Members, Softly? Poem by Bri Edwards

Killing P-H Members, Softly?

Rating: 4.3


I've had word recently of deaths of 2 'old' P-H bards.
So far, my (Bri Edwards') death's not ' in the cards* '
{at least not till noon}, & now I nervously, dare to say:
'If I DO die, I most likely won't have a very good way....
to tell all of YOU, I hope you all have a nice next day! ! ! '

* [ idiom, 'in the cards': Likely or certain to happen ]

Perhaps both old Tom Billsborough and old Daniel Brick
were so frustrated with P-H that their hearts forgot to tick?
Since MY body lacks a 'heart' and hasn't much of a 'mind',
I've survived. And now it's true, P-H [this week I did find]...
has actually begun to function much, much better for me!
And let's not forget, good or bad, [for now] P-H's still FREE!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Annette Aitken reports to me that her friend Tom died 'gently in his sleep'. His wife and cat died some years ago. Maybe they are reunited? ? ? ! I'm not sure if someone told me D. Brick died or if I dreamed he had. So, if he sends you a message today, he may still be 'kicking'. bri ;)

I like brie very much, almosr everyday at my nreakfast I have brie, but PH's Bri is still alive and writing again. His beloved wife loves him too much, so he is forbidden to write too much and too long and she truly forbids him to read poems on PH everyday.
