After I Am Gone

My grandchildren will fight the bonfire for my paintings after I am dead.
Their parents will try to nix it, but they will insist, for I’ll be a saint then.
My paintings are stacked all over my house, in my bathtub and under the bed.
I can hardly wait for my death, when my sainthood can truly begin.

Boy, do you ever have high aspirations! I'll settle for being remembered, period. It would be nice to be remembered for something I have written....but I doubt it.

I am not concerned; feeling I will be recycled.
