Farewell! Farewell!
Father, we buried you today
in a wicker casket
wherein bones of Mother lay.
On top laid to rest
as an honoured guest
together once more to stay
Goodbye! Goodbye!
It’s time for my closing verse.
How long the years
that bless and unkindly curse,
till in a black wagon
our sorry ar-se draggin’
we get to flat ride in a hearse
Written: October 2014
Alas for most of us the one time we
get to ride in a big chauffeur driven
limo is when we’re dead. RIP dad!
