The Last Laugh

She
was
known for
such lines as
“I cracked a funny”
and “It’s a long way from my heart.”
Bathroom humor was
a favorite.
Funny,
the
way

she
died,
found by
my sister
(no joke) slumped over
the portable commode, her heart
having given out
just after
using
it.
Ha.


Funny, odd–but also, I think my mom would have gotten a chuckle out of it herself. Peace to our s!

    Oh no! I do hope this is an exaggeration or better a fiction… (will my soul be in peril if I laughed?”)

    1. It’s all true but fine if you laughed. I think my mom would have found it funny herself. In fact, I even had that written into the post but decided to remove it.
