I offer no useful explanation No news flash story on the madness of my life Cause there's sorrow and sadness, yes and loss and  "yes and no" answers 25 years of grieving bereavement  Me at my hastily finalised funeral Songs and soundtracks  A casket carried out   To far approaching forever Awkward; pausing moments The pall bearer moves, nervously Slips Someone  Plants an assuring hand-  Mateship stays but Death- Death  goes on and on and on Rattle ump thump And the end is never near, And always.

I offer no useful explanation No news flash story on the madness of my life Cause there's sorrow and sadness, yes and loss and  "yes and no" answers 25 years of grieving bereavement  Me at my hastily finalised funeral Songs and soundtracks  A casket carried out   To far approaching forever Awkward; pausing moments The pall bearer moves, nervously Slips Someone  Plants an assuring hand-  Mateship stays but Death- Death  goes on and on and on Rattle ump thump And the end is never near, And always.
