Letter to the Grim Reaper

Dear Grim,

You tried to take me out twice
I have to give you credit
they were really nice tries
your scythe nearly ended me
completely both times
I think you gave up because
I didn’t give a damn about dying
I think that indifferent attitude
took the fun out of your
trying to slaughter me
but, Grim, don’t lose heart
maybe the third time
will be a charm for you

Bob Boyd
