Crazy Obituary Notice
Nicely bearing The Title Straight to Heaven
But the chap had lived A Short Twenty Seven
And he was wielding AK 47;
Some embarrassing gunshots in God’s Heaven!
You see: some obituaries read quite stupid:
This one made subject against Love and Cupid.
I could not excuse his khaki uniform:
I just could see he had lived A Life of Storm.
An obituary notice far from limpid,
A concentration on The Oddly Vapid:
Someone who’d roamed The Earth and it was rapid;
A message as tasteless as the insipid…
Why a weapon loaded and probably cocked,
In toughest fabric portraying a heart locked?
The Guy I could presume “Resting in Pieces;
Wherever he is like Snake: lots of hisses…
Mourners may on electric pole post such bill;
On my father’s house’s wall I might them kill!
