James May

"Farewell and do not wholly forget me when I am dead." Beethoven.

Statistically speaking,
With a little bit of tweaking,
Almost any set of figures could seem true,
And if you wanted to surmise,
On your possible demise,
(Do you really think that's wise?),
That's up to you!

But life is seldom fair,
Even if we take good care,
On the edge of life we do forever teeter,
The vast majority of us,
Could get flattened by a bus!
When your time is up it's off to meet St. Peter.

At the Pearly Gates he'd say,
" You're that fan of Mr. May,
Was it bike or was it train,
Perhaps a car or diving plane?........

Oh, please don't make a fuss,
It wasn't me driving that bus!"
Maid of Astolat
