On the Occasion of the Death of Your Worst Enemy
On the Occasion of the Death
of Your Worst Enemy
By Elton Camp
Even if you secretly hope he “went to hell”
It’s a time social lies you’re expected to tell
“We had our differences, but he was a friend.
I am so very sorry his life has come to an end.”
“The world will no longer be the same place
Never more to see his bright and smiling face.”
“His death is a terrible loss and such a pity.
Be happy he now resides in the celestial city.”
“He got the glorious reward that he deserves.”
Even if, as Satan’s demon, you think he serves
“I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved
of it.” -- Mark Twain
