Help Yourself

When my old man got hit by a car
He dragged himself to die in a bar
When Mom saw the gashes
She burned him to ashes
So now he rests in our cookie jar

G'day Rico … my neighbour put his late wife's ashes down at the local bar so she could be with him every night - thanks Rico - Lindsay

That's probably more than she could hope for in life! Aloha! Rico

This puts me in mind of a short little round jar with a cork for a top that read "The Ashes Of My Ex Husband." It really gave me a giggle. Thanks Rico. God Bless, JB

Which is always better than a brass spittoon, isn't it? Aloha! Rico

Maybe Mom was angry he'd died in a bar, but it's better than dying on the street. I'd hate to think our fate rests in the cookie jar. LOL Funny, Rico!

If I was hit by a car, I'd crawl for a shot of Courvoisier, too! Aloha! Rico

I suppose it depends upon the appearance of the cookie jar? Aloha! Rico

I thought about using, "Trick or Treat" as the title so you could recite it to trick or treaters on Halloween as you offered your cookie jar to them . . . ..

Our local newspaper recommended seniors on a budget should buy a cookie jar from Wal*Mart rather than an urn from a mortician, which opens an whole new field of humour to poets . . . . .
