Atop a catafalque, the morbid pedestal lies placed up ahead Beautiful casket of pale birch laced with marbled ornament With a flower orangerie settled upon final resting bed Grand expensive suit fitted perfectly the dead man, toes to head Funeral home better than his living home; lived cheap, died rich instead All costs money he never had Oh the luxury of being dead

Freestyle written in 9 minutes. Inspired by the line "The luxury of being dead" professor Timothy Corrigan used to describe a moment in the film Vertigo on a lecture yesterday.
