Senior Trip To Fold With Honor
What was brewing?
A health care debate done for fooling
What bill?
Who has the medical skill?
Up there on the Hill
Are they still talking about the prescription pill?
Then the legal eagles read the will
Where I am going with this?
Noticing people not being able to give a good bye kiss
While finishing the two due lists?
Shaking opinionated political fists
A couple naturally died
Rumored siblings lied
In the financial plan
For the clan
Property ownership discussed
About what was in the family trust
Everything happened real quickly
An invisible situation arguably tricky
Golden oldies went on a traveling trip
Joking about a television show script
Upon return
There was concern
But nobody expected to fill the urns
As the lawyer stepped in
To tell them what they did win
Barring the question “where have you been?”
All together
To read the statement letter
A star
Wanting the car
And the spouse
Wanting representation in the house
Furniture which gave the departed glee
Grandchildren apartment will benefit if they have a degree
This was the thought
Before life’s end when they got caught
Proceedings started
Valuables to be carted
Storage bin standing by
While tissues passed with a cry
Little Jimmy goes to the ice box
Looking for grandma’s snacks like a fox
But the fridge was bare
Nothing to share
Except a six pack
Planted the night when death attacked
“As I open and close this reading
During this short meeting
There will be no repeating
We took most of our stuff with us
When boarding the eternal touring bus
What is left behind?
We hope won’t be declined
Since we gave you the birthing start
Take our parting gift to heart”
Suddenly Little Jimmy appeared
Seeing everyone in tears
“This is a joke,”
His father spoke
“Those two left one thing
I really hope they enjoyed the final fling”
Mommy stated looking at her ring
Attorney continued knowing they didn’t care
About the sudden scare
“Children there is nothing to fear
Since we are no longer here
For what we want you to remember
Christmas last December
Gift wrapped in festive tidings
Relaxing pleasure was the finding
Vacation on a cruise
Nothing to lose
Off course it was a trick
We got sick
Now to honor our cause
Using your sanitized dirty paws
Enjoy what called us to God’s table
A Mexican alcohol label
Fetch it dear
You know the chilled Corona beer”
Little Jimmy stood there treat in hand
And the youngest took a stand
“Any takers from the cheer under the sun
Maybe Granny and Gramps wants us to have a little fun.
They are up in the sky
No longer living a lie
Let’s pass this around
And drink a round
How does that sound?!”
Each took a can
Toasting as a loving fam
No material objects could compare
Just a simple tribute to a romantic pair
