Mr wally had a jolly life
when his death came
in the middle of the night
I was working
from the depths of moonlight
he died in his sleep
with his mouth open deep
we did him up to look his best
for family and his guest
however the last line was best
we had to put his teeth in
but we struggled as he was full of air
we got them in
and then they flew back out again
we could not help but laugh
the room was full of staff

How nice it is to laugh at a corpse. I have always loved a good giggle at a dead person. How nice to share your sense of humour.
