He was a party of one
and the party never ended,
until they found him dead
on his front porch one morning.
Party's over,
time to go home.

Ida,

Not a bad way to quit the party. We should all be so lucky.

Nice little piece.

and hopefully the party will go on on another level, making him feel less lonely, celebrating with "milk and honey" instead and hugs to no end...

So sad, dear Ida, but rendered with a great realistic touch that does not permit indifference.

love

Thank You all for your comments,
Bobby, I wish he had been "so lucky"
but when you drink and party until you're in your fifties, the body rebels at the abuse and some unpleasant things happen.

That is very sad Ida dear, not the fact that he died, but the fact that he died

alone. Let's hope there will be a party waiting for him where ever he goes.

Have a happy day Ida and God Bless.
