#Napowrimo 12 / #100poeticanswers 30 Would It Hurt If I Flew Directly Into The Sun?

A neighbour’s child is apparently going through a phase of asking if various incredibly grisly deaths “would hurt”. This was my favourite iteration.

No, it wouldn’t hurt 

If you flew into the sun.

Because you’d be dead.

You’d have been burned up 

Before you got anywhere

Near the sun’s surface

Well dear, you did ask.

Now off into bed with you.

Night night, pleasant dreams!
