              John looked up and said
               " no I suppose not" l said
                After all... now he's dead?
                The cremations on Thursday...
                 At the end of next week
                  Jess was silent
                   Too upset to speak
                     " he didn't get aids mum"?
                        You both look up and say
                           " no" l replied
                       " he didn't get that
                         Just because he was gay"
                       " he died from a stroke
                          I'm told it was quick"
                          " let's have tea now
                             I feel kinda sick"
                         " I hate him, I hate him"!
                               Jess starts to cry....
                          " oh why did he have to go and die"!!...
