Missing My Funeral

Philip Kruger

Oh What A day I’ve missed
When they dug my grave
With the lovely smell of Putrescence hanging
In this six feet cave

How I wish I was there
To see no one care
Watch them cracking a joke
Of how they wish I could choke

Oh what a day I’ve missed
Thinking did I make their list
On this eventful brighter day
Please join us and come play

This death will bring solace
It will be fun I truly promise
On this eventful brighter day
Please join us and come play
