When the Fat Lady Sings

[billy]

hi 71

if the "and" is the continuation of the title add it to the title
or not as the case may be.
it has a tongue in cheek humour about it that appeals to me, it also has an irreverence to chopin in that you that you presume to do the lyrics for his work
some small points really, nothing great but well worth an edit.
oh...and it's original with some original images,
thanks for the read.

And it’s time, I would like
music to murder me—
something elegant, like Chopin—
perhaps I could pre-write
the lyrics; after all, I wouldn’t want i like the enjambment here, make me work (in a good way)
people at my funeral merely humming , this line evoked a laugh, the image of people "merely" humming because the music has no words is clever.
or worse, tapping a scuffed shoe i'd suggest scuffed shoes as opposed to a universal shoe
to a wordless tune of a life

I’d rather die with a soft song
in my head: something with violins— i like the enjambment here also, it'sd like a daydream of the funeral
like cricket legs rubbing together
on the first frost of October— good image, cold crickets indeed, but it works well
a white haired preacher with a thin baton,
plus Jesus Christ himself at the back door,
making sure no one leaves early solid humorous ending
