Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Wit's End

Oscar Wilde was well known for wit,
Even during difficult times.
His cleverness just never quit,
No matter whether lows or primes.
On his deathbed, he drank champagne,
And ate the finest of cuisines.
"As I have lived," he did maintain,
"So shall I die - beyond my means."
"And, something else that all should know,"
Wilde opened up his eyes real wide.
"Either those curtains have to go,"
"Or I do," and with that he died.

Wit for Wilde, easily came by,
Even when just about to die.
