6372. THE MAN IS A HEADACHE

THE MAN IS A HEADACHE
Fifteen feet of rope should be enough? With
which to hang oneself? Enough to jump, but
more than enough, most of the time, to hit 
the floor. Unless a bridge is used  -  far, far,
down you go  -  but no more than fifteen feet.
Such calculations make me giddy.
-
Peptic ulcer and gonorrhea.
Ulcerated colon and swollen glands.
I mean to say, Doctor Pickerel,
take your pick of anyone's ailments.
They are now all billable.
-
The white sheets atop the closet shelf?
Or they for the beds, or to wrap the dead?
