Lilacs At My Funeral
Lilacs at my funeral
Lilacs when I’m dead
Lilacs in my coffin
Placed gently by my head
Lilacs at my funeral
Lilacs when I’m gone
Lilacs to help send me
On my journey home
Lilacs at my funeral
Lilacs for my grave
Lilacs instead of roses
Think of the money you will save
1978

Dem Bones!
My Husband's Grandmother,
who had reached the grand old age of 98 years,
died one 23rd of December,
and as her funeral couldn't be organised
until the 6th of January, the following year,
her Son asked the Funeral Director,
to explain what was happening to his Mother
over the Christmas period.
The Funeral Director in his severe black suit,
with a face even more severe,
placed a hand on the Son's shoulder, and said,
'Don't you worry, Mr Taylor,
we have a Skeleton Staff in over Christmas'.
This is a true story, but we found it to be so hilarious.

A Misanthrope's Villanelle
All of mankind can go to hell,
That evil, proud, rapacious race,
May I live to hear its funeral knell.
To hear the tolling of that bell
Would bring a smile to my glum face.
All of mankind can go to hell.
I want to be the one to tell
Of mankind's final fall from grace.
May I live to hear its funeral knell.
May they end up where demons dwell,
With no one there to plead their case.
All of mankind can go to hell.
It would suit me so very well
To see them gone without a trace.
May I live to hear their funeral knell.
Only their demise my rage will quell,
That mistake of God's, the earth's disgrace.
All of mankind can go to hell.
May I live to hear its funeral knell.
