Subject: Is Susan morbid or what???
I fully expect Susan to re-write this, but thought you'd get a chuckle along the way. Roger
When I die (started January 4, 2002; 'completed' July 17, 2002)
Oh when I die, please do not cry
Just breathe a sigh while you wipe your eye
Take a look at me in the coffin laid
And sweetly say before I'm decayed
"At least she wasn't a cranky old maid!"
Her husband she loved though she nagged at times
And wagged her finger when he wouldn't mind.
Her biggest peeve was the clothes he wore
Although she'd bought them for him at the store.
He somehow couldn't match his shirt
To a tie or sweater and caused much mirth
To all around, who almost toppled to the ground
When he wore his sandals all year round!
She loved her neighbors, friends and church
A hostess she was, who puts others to work
Long conversations were not her thing
She'd rather be shopping or gardening.
Her 3 children she spoiled along with her spouse
Though at times they thought she was an old grouch.
But she loved them all, and despite her flaws
She's now in heaven with her beloved Lord.
