Funeral Slash Wedding Singer

If I we're to be a wedding singer The bride would obviously have to be dead and wearing a black dress And I am sure they would not only ask for their money back But I would never be asked back either or be able to use them to provide me with a glowing reference I then would have to go away and reinvent myself as a funeral singer The sullen ilk of Johnny Cash at a cremation service Whaling a rendition of Ring of Fire And I did it my way So out of tune and with lyrics you have never heard before Until everyone is looking at each other so confused they are now no longer sad but laughing out loud instead And thinking to themselves this has to be the best funeral I have ever been to in my life So much so I might just laugh myself to death And if I do please promise me or grant me this my dying wish When I die you will book him to sing at my funeral Because if anyone could he could raise the dead

Hi Christopher, I would sum this poem up as been written by a gifted poet, remarkable thoughts so intricately woven and expressed one has to almost study what you say, think you'll become famous anyway, now or in a future day. hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
