Putting The 'Fun' Into 'Funeral'

If you want to make a good investment
for your future buy your funeral plot early.
Put in the plot all your favourite plants
that will grow there, and visit them often.

Tend them carefully as they grow
and you  will appreciate all the more
how you want to continue to tend them,
as if they were part of yourself,
rather than see them disturbed
by your arrival, never to leave, in a box.
Even though their being disturbed
is ultimately what the space is for.  

When The Queen

honoured  Kate Bush with a C.B.E.
Kate dodged the cameras of the BBC,
and gave no passing comment from the palace.
But later, more composed, she issued the quote
to please anyone concerned minor honours 'Now I have
got something special to put at the top of my Christmas tree'.
