FUNERAL PLANNING

by David Knape

"Plan Your Own Funeral"
The above AD was posted on the internet,
inspiring this poem:


I thought about dying
and planning it out,
but the thought of it all
left me wondering in doubt,
If I make the arrangements
and pay for them too,
what the hell
will the relatives do?

I'll hate departing
seeing all of them cry,
I'll try to hurry
no need to say bye,
skip all the arrangements
there's no need to pack,
'cause where I'm goin'
I'm not comin' back.
