The obituary of Samuel Beckett

His obituary of Samuel Beckett was a blank page, Only words there were grains of rice in a white room, Taken too early, his time on Earth too brief, Not because he was young when he left the world But because the last time the world saw him he was young. Samuel Beckett was named after the famous writer A novelist, poet, the playwright Samuel Beckett, Which is rather ironic, As his debut in writing, Was his obituary, And it was no epic No poem of glory or of sorrows, It was a confession, That he was plucked from this planet too early. He roamed his village for all his life But his time living had just begun.
