Puff - For Funeral Service Contest
We’re here to remember you, Tony McDuff
Though most of us here knew you better as ‘Puff’
You’d take any challenge, no matter how rough
Alas your last struggle was simply too tough
That trusty old Harley you’d ride like the wind
Twas rumoured you’d nicked it from someone you skinned
A crime which upon you could never be pinned
Which upset the cops for you frequently sinned
But though you were rough and was frequently bad
And often described as a bit of a lad
All of us here will be equally sad
As you go to wreak havoc... in hell... with your dad
Two slugs removed by unscrupulous vets
They did what they could but they weren’t taking bets
But your lifetime of wounds without any regrets
Was finally lost to those damned cigarettes
For nobody knew as your voice became gruff
That it wasn’t the weed or the powdery stuff
See you real soon if we’re good-bad enough
So off you go Tony, off you go ‘Puff’
