How to die, hence, to fade

Ways to gamely give out

Pick a card, last bet made

With a grin or a pout?

How to die, hence, to part

Ways to proudly play out

Glass half full, heavy heart

In a predestined rout

How to die, hence, to leave

Ways to bravely bow out

Strike the set, time to grieve

No more clout in the shout

How to die, hence, to go

Ways to chastely check out

Tough to say, hard to know

When kismet is in doubt
