Poetic-Verses
'' With The Afterlife They'll Now Connect ''
The people are crying as my funeral draws near,
They're all over my corpse so why are they here,
Are they sad because I will soon disappear?
My character they begin to dissect.
There are some I've not seen for many a year,
Claiming they just had to shed a tear,
Others are emitting a sense of fear,
My feelings have been totally wrecked.
Friends and relatives some filled with cheer,
Saying he was such a nice old dear,
For some they these wakes are a bloody career,
Hypocrisy is what I detect.
Did he write out a will I overhear?
That certainly doesn't sound very sincere,
Their presence like their teeth has a false veneer,
They are showing a lack of respect.
My ex says loudly I'll make this clear,
As she downs another whisky and beer,
Though my stain on his character was very severe,
His memory I'll forever protect.
My estranged children who stole all my gear,
Are standing gloating we will not interfere,
But he was our Dad so we'll persevere,
So what we're due we have come to collect.
I'm still not cold and there's an auctioneer,
Selling my home and my gold chandelier,
My son blags my Rolex as a souvenir,
My problem is I can't object.
The funeral they've arranged is very austere,
A cardboard coffin on me is a smear,
Into the back of a pick up and I'm out on my ear,
This is having a terrible effect.
Their attitude to my internment is cavalier,
They're placing me in a hole beside the red deer,
A reward for being their financier?
They're all guilty of gross neglect.
Every single one of them is but a profiteer,
Disasters from afar I will engineer,
As a haunting poltergeist I will reappear,
