do i envy those who pass
from life to death
with that certainty of eternity
a greater mansion to occupy
do i carry sympathy for those
who lack in life that faith
that alleged passport to the beyond
with a send off from a chapel here
many questions my mind may probe
but, for sure, i have informed my wife
and our daughter: that none
from holy club sprinkle phoney poetry
instead my simple frame
be laid to rest naked in a quick flame
with no words that my mind
shall be burdened to interpret
