Question: What do you think of this poem titled Mortician!? How could I improve!?
Don't steel it, really!. How could I imrove, I don't mean how creapy it is, but thanks!.

Call the mortician!.
Tell him I’m dead!.
I just noticed…!.

I don’t get it,
But I know he'll take me away!.

Don’t forget to wear black,
Even though that’s what you wear everyday!.

Line the coffin with led,
cause I've had enough silver!.
I always owned it, and i'm sick of what I've had!.
So give me a sickness,
and rid me of this illness!.

Call the mortician!.

Merritt,

I love double edged fiction!. This poem is like listening to John Wayne in a Western Drama!. He has rode the frontier as a US Marshall for years knowing that he will never live a full life!. Now that mortality enters the picture after he was shot in a gunfight, he talks bravely as he nears deaths heavy door!.!.!. I'd call it 'Deathbed'!. You speak in the third person quite well!.!.!.

DEATHBED
Will someone call the mortician
Because I think I am dead,
And it don't take a mathmatician
To know I lie in my deathbed!.

I know how it happened
So I don't have a fear,
I drew slower than El Capitan
And that's how I got here!

Another fool
Soon I'll be gone,
Wear a black hat to the funeral
Just like the one you have on!.

I've had my share of silver
Line my coffin with lead,
I used to be a killer
With a bounty on my head

I saw the straight and narrow
On a stage near Kankakee,
Staring at a shot gun barrel
The lawman's life was the one for me

Another fool
Under the lawn,
Wear a black hat to the funeral
Just like you that you have on

Will someone call the mortician
Because I think I am dead,
And it don't take a mathmatician
To know I lie in my deathbed!.

Ashes to dust
So when I'm gone,
Wear a black hat to the funeral
Like the one that you have on!

Thanks for sharing and don't worry, I don't steal!.!.!. I can take a morsel and turn it into a meal!.!.!.!. Grade A -Www@QuestionHome@Com

You cannot improve something this wonderful!!!!

In your 8th line, it's 'lead' not 'led'!. Other than that, this is just a kick in the pants and I love it!.
