Death

I've only ever seen death once
He's very busy and quite shy
He runs around, day and night
Paying visits to his customers
He looks just like a certain gentleman
But he's not favoured by humanity
Though he's always punctual
He carries his pocket watch wherever he goes
We sometimes question his punctuality
But his only response is;
"A fallen tree must be picked up"
So if you're fortunate enough to meet him
Remember to thank him for his service
