don't want to mess it up 
SUBJECT: Fw: Fw: Fw: Read Alone. Do Not Delete! --
Make sure you read the poem! --Here we go:
CASE 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish, for her boyfriend of three years, David Marsden, to propose to her. Then one day when she was out to lunch David proposed! She accepted, but then had to leave because she had a meeting in 20 min. When she got to her office, she noticed on her computer she had some e-mail's. She checked it, the usual stuff from her friends, but then she saw one that she had never gotten before. It was this poem. She simply deleted it without even reading all of it. BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening, she received a phone call from the police. It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!
CASE 2: Take Katie Robinson. She received this poem and being the believer that she was she sent it to a few of her friends but didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out the full 10 that you must. Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball. Later that night when she left to get to her car, she was killed in that spot by a hit-and-run drunk driver.
CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this letter out within 45 minutes of reading it. Not even 4 hours later walking along the street to his new job interveiw with a really big company, when he ran into Cynthia Bell, his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him and told him of her passionate crush on him that she had had on him for 2 years. Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married. Cynthia and Richard are still married with three children, happy as ever!
Drum Roll...here is the supposed poetic climax...
This is the poem:
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine if, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say
"I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tommorow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!
- yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir"
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.
You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter to 10 other people. If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck.
*NOTE* the more people that you send this to, the better luck you will have. SMILE, even through your tears!!!!!
"Found this solution when I googled the poem"
Well, you naughty chain-emailist...If I MUST. However, I'm cleverer than you. I have found a loop hole around your curse. I suspect, if they haven’t gotten painfully bored and left already, that ten people will read through this diffused version of your tragipoem, so I have fulfilled my requirement…though, not in 3 hours time, oh well.... However, since they did not receive it in an email, they are not obligated to pass it along. You can’t hurt me, and you can’t hurt them. Forums have defeated you!!!
