The Pun Fun In Funeral With a Little Onion Breath

In prepping for a funeral 
The family gathered in the hall
They sat there all mourning
Even though it was nightfall

He had eaten lots of vegetables
Yet, he passed on in his suite
Must have still had too much sugar 
And not enough heart beets

A farmer by trade, he grew 
Not just beets but onions too
When he passed, they cut his crops
And cried all the way through

They made his favorite cheese as well
A batch to honor him that day
His athlete niece, age nineteen, fell
Now there’s pro teen in the whey

Onions served at the will reading
One son got more than his share
“Yes, I see”, said the executor
I can smell it in the heir

“Woof” exclaimed his trusty dog
“This situation is certainly tough.
Although I’m sad about my human
These jokes were pretty ruff…..”
