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

Lovely and amusing, Josehf. Let now your poetry go to ash, though: bring on more - with flames.

With the price of funerals these days, it seems the logical way.
