May you sleep soundly
In the ruched rayon
Of your casket. May
You fart
At your wake, startling
Your frenemies, there
For free food and booze.
May you
Grace the viewing room
At Lethe Brothers, and
May all the chairs be
Taken.
May your funeral
Be solemn, refined.
May the priest not flub
His lines.
May your burial
Go smoothly. May your
Casket not be dropped
Head first.
May your Other Side
Be fun, and not a drag.
May you always rest
In fleece.
