Wrap my body in a carpet roll
and bury me deep
in a 6ft hole
Dontcha spend no money to see me off
told ya what would kill me
was this tickling cough
Why does it have to be so expensive to die? I honestly want a cardboard box or similar and a hole if i can (nutrients back to mother earth) or burn me if its cheaper.
You hit the nail for us older fogies today.
Aren't they just. Was considering taking out a funeral plan but they don't seem to be underwritten by a reputable body like the FSA. So it's cardboard for me - might even knock one up and keep it in the garage. Thanks so much Dusk.
The costs are increasing all the time,
I am wondering if I can afford to die!
(Not my problem though, the kids can just chuck me in My River).
And you can gently float away. Thanks Andy.
I'm so young I haven't made enough money to die yet!! DA's comments were hilarious!! Very good couplet Michael, always a conversation starter!
DA's comments usually are - thanks Christina.
It wasn't the cough that carried him off, but the coffin they carried him off in
Yes, got an old tea chest ready? Is it the Co-op Funeral Service for you? Do Poundland do them for £1?!
A tea chest won't be any good cos me knees are bad - and a plastic bag's no good cos of the environment. So it's a cardboard box - wonder what the postage is!
It's a sombre theme. Somm Berles knows all about it. Doh! we won't be able to afford the postage, with the cost of stamps these days.

People die, debts don't
So poor people suffer while they are living and it doesn't stop there either.
I don't understand the purpose of occupying land after death!
Good piece and no, I don't want to start another war!!!!!
