Memento Mori in Five Syllables




​Something awful may


happen tomorrow.


Some terrible thing


may be waiting for


mourning.  Think on this:



The car you leave in


never arrives.  The


voices you hear are


whispering lies.  The


hankie you touch to


your lips fills with blood.



Think of the skull on


the mantle.  Ponder


Boethius et al.


Turn Terror away.


Make today quiet,


humorous and good.
