Death Is A Silent Partner
Death is a "silent auction"
with sealed bids in advance.
No matter what the caution life is a game of chance.
Death is a "silent butler"
with assist in advance.
No matter what the sutler life is a brief freelance.
Death is a "silent service"
with archness in advance.
No matter what the crevice life is a sideways glance.
Death is a "silent treatment"
with contempt in advance.
No matter what the segment life is a shadow dance.
Death is a "silent partner"
with still voice in advance.
No matter what the veneer life is a great romance.
