My Coffin Has No Phone

In my coffin I will have no phone At last I shall be free like new born babe But how will people hear my mobile groans? Who shall write my story on a stone? I can’t ring Emergency for aid In my coffin I will have no phone I must have a linen sheet untorn Be reminded I’ve already paid How will people hear my mobile groans? Out we go, as in we, came alone Will someone sing for me , oh humming bird In my coffin I will need no phone We will die as we have lived, atoned I hope a human person hears my words Help us all,dear God, to forestall groans Free from medications .free of nerves Straight to Heaven atop our loved ones prayers In my coffin I shan’t be alone I want to go with all my garden gnomes
