Bodies With Names

Bodies With Names After objectively reading my obituary How much weight might mine carry Carefully being compared with yours Seen by my eyes that eventually endures. A wily woman was born with two left feet And in a hallowed hall we both did meet But then me being so shy as was only I Presumably, probably had passed her by. Relinquished a jester with an obscenity When I was singing "Oh say can you see," On a cell phone, they received a call And before flag would not stand tall. In heaven heard that they made a blunder On earth they had put wrong body under God said that if in cemetery you are in Don't mix bodies with names ever again. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
