Compose for me
A threnody
For a funeral tomorrow.
And sing it with
The utmost pith
Of concentrated sorrow.
To say ‘We’ve lost
One of the most
Fantastic of people ever’
Would be to understate
just how great
Was the woman whose head we severed.
Oh sad the day
She passed away
And sad the people who
Were at the grave
Of this woman brave
Whom none of us even knew.
