Here is a funny poem about the peril of being taken literally…
Make Note of Me, Taking Leave
If I should dis a peer
Without a trace
This might
Licit a thought
That I am faking my death
Which though not very likely
Is more likely
Than faking my life
Or per chance
In the mix
An unsolved crime
Of clueless cops and courts
A story of my life
Though more likely than not
Someone simply
Took me literally
And did not bother
To leave a ransom note
Revealing
Where a bout
A fate I’ve metaphor
Many times
Be for
