Midnight Call and a Death Threat

On 23-01-13 at 0023, GMT+3

In Adama aka Nazret, Ethiopia

It was just midnight when I got this call

Said that I had three more days to live

Why? I asked

What you do, he answered.

Thought my drinking habit

Had finally taken its toll.

But how did this caller know?

Surely he sounded not like Angel Michael

And he didn't sound like Lucifer either.

I don't understand, I said.

Who you call every day, he said.

I tried to figure in my wino mind

Who it is a man would give

So much love as to give daily calls.

Mind too busy. Try again later.

Who do I call? I asked.

You know who you call, he said.

I don't understand, I said.

Ask your friends, goodbye. BEEP!

“Death threats given by clowns, I guess . . .”

My favourite music track by Nas thus goes.

I fall back deeeeeep into slumber

Daytime I'll deal with this number.
