Nothing Left But Goodbye

I hate funeral parlors....

Never want to be the object

Of morose attention.

Sobbing, weeping, wailing, moaning

Mourners. Not to mention

All the things the undertakers

Do to violate the dead.

Filling them with fluids...

Pancaked cheeks of phony red.

 

Remembrance is in the heart,

Not lying in a box of steel.

Respects are paid conveying to the living

How we truly feel.

In the last analysis,

Though it be cause to cry,

There's really nothing left to say

Except a silent, fond goodbye.
