All Hail the Village Mortician

All hail the village mortician his bearing, proper patrician Sterling the gent's reputation throughout his chosen vocation A man of dignity and reserve whose stare can a ghost unnerve Frankly, he makes me quite nervous though one day I'll be needing his service

Gershon, This poem brought a smile to my day. I wish for many more smiles to come. It's that time when we give thanks. And I am truly thankful for you and the gifts of wit you shared throughout the year. -Richard
