In the mix, we are all just plain flour!

In the case of not knowing,
all rise.
Not you self raising!

Life is all but short
thanks to our inheritance.
You can’t bank on a gene.

Have you reached a verdict?
Yes your wordship!
How do you find mortality?
Guilty!

Will the defendant life please rise.
In the term of your natural life
you will be sentenced to death.

Cases on all life dismissed.

You are master of the ‘hit and run’ poem style my friend. Your clever lines force us to think and reason and discover. This poem is filled with skillful word-play and questions asked and answered both drolly and profoundly. Who else could put mortality on trial, find it guilty and sentence it to death?? Only you Andrew. This is a most brilliant and memorable write. Kudos!
