How would you react if I were absent one day?
Would you think ''that's weird'' and continue on your way?
How would you react if day two still no me?
Would you question how long it would be?
How would you react if for a third day I was gone?
Would you start to worry if something was wrong?
How about day four? Would your reaction vary?
Would you presume that I'd eaten a nightlock berry?
By day five, would you have given up hope?
Would you presume I'd be raped by the Pope?
If for six days, I didn't show,
Would you forget me and just let it go?
The seventh day arrives and there's still no sign,
Do you consider my chalk outline?
If after a week, I haven't turned up,
Please find someone nice and tell them what's up.
If you don't, if you just leave it to chance,
I might be forever gone, so speak up at first glance.
