When I die

All that will remain is bones and rotting meat Toss it in a cheap wicker box for worms to eat Topped just with wild flowers and no cement Plant a weeping willow instead of a monument It can do the weeping, please don't you cry There is a chance that I'll be busy when I die For if I am wrong and there is life after this I have plans with whom I'll dine and reminisce I'll be dining with Oscar Wilde and Caravaggio Cocktails and conversation with Kant and Plato Then with Bellini, Verdi and Rossini I'll take a Show An interval tipple and discourse with Rousseau An after party with Bakunin and Proudhon Whisky and blues with Howlin Wolf til I'm gone I shall breakfast the next day with Tz'u Hsi, Homer and Malcolm X And take morning coffee with Gandhi and Marc Bolan from T.Rex At noon a spicy bloody Mary with Mary Queen of Scots, Freddie Mercury, Lou Reed, Picasso and lots of tequila shots Lunch that day with Saladin, Karl and Groucho Marx Then smoke a pipe with Newton whilst discussing quarks Afternoon tea with Queen Victoria, Kipling and Colin Ward Followed by a game of Tafl with a viking on a giant board Dress for flamenco with Carmen Amaya (then dress the blisters)   Then pre-dinner drinks paid for by Geronimo and the Bronte sisters So you see, if I'm wrong And we actually move along A fascinating after life awaits me Yeah, when I'm gone from here There'll be plenty gin and beer Cucumber sandwich's and tea If you wonder what I'm doing Give your watch a quick viewing Then just check this poem and you'll see
