My best friend Charles was burnt today
Aged 78
A week last Thursdat he had his breakfast
Sat in his chair and Died.
All the assorted family were there for the wake today.
And after the beer we opened out his preserved gallon of whisky
Which he had preserved for his funeral.
It was good quality. I had a double dose.
He was my best friend the past four years.
Now I will be lonely.
What we are left with is the bickerings over his will
But the family is solid and will survive.
Life will be much emptier from now.
Douglas Clark, Bath, Somerset, England ....
