Last orders
Make me a coffin of wicker please, made with precision and pride
long enough, with a well fitting lid, and handles on each side
line the inside with something nice, Ill be in it for quite a while
so a cheerful colour and pattern, something to make me smile
I'd like some kind of mattress, and a pillow for my head
so that I can be comfortable, while I get used to being dead
boredom could be a problem, some puzzles would be good
and perhaps a little pen knife so I can whittle things from wood
oh and can I have a telephone, if you would be so kind
with some numbers on the speed dial, in case I change my mind.
not yet Doug here is my reply
You won't be going yet I have something to tell
meet me at the church yard there lies the door to hell
we will share a joke, i'll have a smoke and you can drink as well
and when last orders ring we can both burn your box
and have our final caving trip, together before the last gate locks....(steadfast together in life and death)
I feel so much better now Mick.
