A casket sailed by in the gloom
Now who would condone
Homes in a Flood Zone?
Is FEMA financing your doom?...

paws on his casket
he drops a white rose
onto his friend
  a soldier come home

Death is knots
A box of thoughts

Is not that above?
A twisted thing to ponder
Staring at 
A wilted rose by the casket out yonder...

“Ah, poor man, he had a troubled life”
 “But now his problems are over”
“Or just beginning.”...

His attire incredibly crummy
	He draped a dinner jacket
	across his golden casket
Now the pretty ghouls are more chummy...

The Widow
She tipped the casket, praying hard,
Her final chance to say adieu,
His ashes flowing down the stream,
She sobbed, ‘My life has gone with you.’
