RIP

Weird ethereal sounds
resonate
somewhere in outer space
funereal
in the scented air
where mere mortals
hesitate
ogled by demented ghouls
clad in shrouds and party hats
as 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 installment plan.
