To a stranger who has died
Money is nontransferable –
That the Egyptians tried –
The kings – they’re unconsolable –
But I know of things that follow:
A reputation is transferable –
Fame – too – worth much in gold
As well as a pretty caricature –
Others will take their talents
And I – by a memory that’s perfect –
Will take – cheating osmosis –
My poems with me into death.

Lovely... I hope you leave some of them behind for us? (-:
Ha - lots! Go to enviousoftheclouds.com
Done!
I really like this ever so much!
If i gained a pretty caricature that survived only briefly I’d still find it fun to brandish it w glee so my ex would feel her vindictive predictions were proven wrong and I’d be so glad to be so petty.
lol!
