Ashes to Ashes Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, here goes my goldfish, with one flush. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, here goes my gerbil, with one flush. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, here goes my turtle, with one flush. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, here goes my loved one, with one flush. Honey, stop him, the cat won’t fit. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison
