Flowers at My Funeral

on a ship wandering on seas
a sea of peoples seeking for peace
i asked them,
"if the ship went down, which flower should they use at my funeral?"
he said lotus
but i said lavender
she said peony
but i said sunflower
out of the crowd someone screamed out, 
"use a bouquet"
i asked "why?"
he rephrased it and said
"idiot they all mean recovery and peace"
