RIP

Weird ethereal sounds resonate
somewhere form outer space
funereal in the scented air
colder than a dewdrop's tear
where mere mortals hesitate
ogled by demented ghouls
clad in shrouds and party hats
while an urbane undertaker'
draped in black
advertises
no deposit, interest-free
caskets
immediately available
for the bereaved
or for the thrifty
the nifty, low interest
heavenly instalment plan
