To a stranger who has died –

To a stranger who has died -

Money is nontransferable;

That the Egyptians tried -

The kings - they\'re unconsolable

But I know some things that follow:

A reputation that\'s admirable;

Fame - too - worth much in gold

As well as a pretty caricature.

Others will take their talents

And I - by history’s sieve -

Will take - cheating prognosis -

My poems with me when I leave.
