Keeping the grave away
by drinking gravy
how do we deal with mortality?
not very well I'll wager to say
do you think about death as much as me
or do you post positive affirmations for all to see?
I just can't get the images out of my mind
as they lower me into the hole
by a crane, cradling my behind.
head first, wicker basket, splosh
"let's away to tea
did he have much dosh?"
The eulogy read
in the pissing rain
said
"Unemployed for much of his life
a loony, a nutter, a bum
he was also quite partial to a tot 'bach' of rum
he claimed to be teetotal
but he was a wily old chum
given the right wind and a full tum
he would turn round and call the whole world 'scum'
he thought he could write
no readers, no reviewers, no friends had he,
So I am surprised today
to see the whole cast of 'Glee'
We've had to bus in security
and add an extra field
this is more like Glastonbury than a graveyard
was there more to him that met the eye,
this awkward old card?
He tried to be kind but
it was interpreted that he'd lost his mind.
Being soft was a weakness
that got you not far
that's why so many of that sort
ended up propping up the bar.
When you finally realize what the world's all about
you're too old to give it another shout.
So we return his body to the earth
near to the sea
tune in next week
for 'Zombies that surf'
