Immortal Me
Some writers strive, through poetry,
to gain immortal fame.
Still Shakespeare lacks our company
And trees have died in vain.
Disney put himself on ice
Ted left his head behind
But Cryogenics leaves me cold-
Not what I had in mind.
A computer genius friend of mine
Said he could turn the trick-
Immortalizing me on line
with just a few mouse clicks.
By the grace of cloud computing
He’d record what makes me tick
Thus I’d remain accessible
when I’m no longer quick.
Then for a modest monthly fee
Folks could download my wit-
To any hard drive that has free
About 2 kilo-bits
(Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen. Ted Williams head has been frozen)
