*Wake, no wake
He dreams of obituaries
And toe tagging
Exhuming dearly departed dollars
And biting the nails
Of his cadavers
Forensically speaking
He can talk of the dead
He's one lucky stiff
Pushing up daisies
All over the yard
Of his rose cottage
This life at rainbow's end
Each day mortiferously expires
It's all there in the brochure*
