Dear Friend(A Not So Funny Story) Poem by Edwin Drood

Banta and his friend are out in the country shooting rabbits. Suddenly, Banta`s friend falls right in front of him, throws a quick spasm, then lies perfectly still. He doesn`t seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. In fact, he looks pretty well dead!
Quick, as a flash, horrified Banta whips out his mobile and calls for emergency. He gasps breathlessly to the operator... My friend just fell to the ground right here in front of me! He`s not breathing. He has no heartbeat! I think he is dead! What can I do? '
Well accustomed to this sort of situation, the emergency operator responds with her most soothing tone... 'Okay Sir, you must try to stay calm. If there`s anything that can be done, we`ll do it. But you will have to keep your cool, then we can take it one step at a time! Okay now?
'Sure! Sure! Of course, you`re right. I`m fine. Just tell me what must I do? '
'Great! Now first of all, let`s make sure he`s dead.'....The line goes silent, then a shot is heard..... Banta`s voice comes back down the network....
`OK! What next? `
