What happens when you die? <br />All your friends will say “Good-Bye” <br />And your loved ones will cry <br />And someone will try <br />To say something nice <br />About you. <br /> <br />In twenty minutes or less <br />Without much fuss or mess <br />We lay you to your rest <br />For good or better or best <br />And then we’ll have a snack <br />Or two <br />Or three <br />And a cup of coffee <br />Or a spot of tea. <br /> <br />You’ve read all the books <br />About post-mortem good looks <br />And what happens to crooks <br />Thieves, killers and other schnooks <br />When they die. <br />They fry! <br /> <br />You won’t be coming back so soon <br />Not until that eternal noon <br />When the sun is swallowed by the moon <br />And nature plays a snazzy new tune <br />In the time of the birth <br />Of a brand new heaven <br />And a renewed earth <br /> <br />We’ll meet at the intersection <br />Where peace meets desolation <br />At the time of resurrection <br />For some strudel and tea <br />Just you and me <br />And just enjoy <br />How nice it will be <br />Just wait and see<br /><br />Lewis Eron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/funeral-fun/
