The parish priest was fading fast,
each breath he took might be his last.
He called his doctor to his side,
One last request before he died.
I need a politician and a C.P.A.,
before I die, 'til then I'll stay.
The doc replied, I'll do my best,
just close your eyes, and try to rest.
Within an hour, a C.P.A.
and politician came to where priest lay,
How can we help? What can we do?
Not a thing, said priest, thank you.
I've lived my life as God has bid,
I've tried to live as Jesus did.
And now its time, my life is through,
I want to die, like Jesus too,
When Jesus, he was crucified,
Two thieves were with him, by his side.

Oohhh, I don't know what to say!!! That certainly wasn't the ending I was expecting.... LMAO!! Man that was good!!

I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers.

This was such a hoot! I burst out laughing at the end, as it certainly was not what I was expecting to read. Very funny and clever!
Hugs, Marti
