Funeral

there was
no horrible
accident
just a
written
will he
wanted
a closed
casket

there was
no organ
music
playing
somber
chords
just the
sound
of a

child's toy
music box
playing
over and
over again
pop
goes
the
weasel

I try not to watch hardly any news; so if Sara would respond it would literally be news to me.

I believe his weasel popping days are over. Great play on words with the title.

If you read Sara's comment, I wish she would have replied to what possible news story this may have meant to her. My response is actually where I got the idea. Thank you Richard.

Thank you for the comment Sara. I'd be interested in what news might have made you think so. Actually a coworker told me that his friend wanted this at his funeral; so I stole the idea and made a poem about it.
