Don’t drift off into spiritual BS crap <br />like surfers BS-ing about the holiness of surfing. <br />Talk about what you admired, <br />and I don’t’ mean his car <br />and its aluminum V-6 engine <br />and dashboard navigation system. <br />Speak with emotion, <br />especially in a winsome way. <br />Raise your eyebrows. <br />Obviously, don’t go negative, <br />particularly about what a goddam control freak he was <br />and how he would never back down in an argument <br />or give you the benefit of the doubt.<br /><br />Michael Philips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eulogy-instructions/
