_iambic, in a locked post (Yes, yes.. with permission)You know how during the holidays, youth groups around the country go to hospitals and sing Christmas carols to the dying children and old people? I was thinking about this...if I were eighty something years old and a group of teenagers came in and started singing "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" at the foot of my bed, the first thought through my head would be "Oh, shit. I'm going to die soon." It wouldn't cheer me up in the least.
