The Last Funeral




The Last Funeral 
My vizi-pink and my day-glo orange
Will stay in their sports clothes place
My choice will be something more formal
With respect to the day that I face

I will meet cousins from years ago
Not seen since we were quite small
Gathered for a these few hours
Will they my face even recall

The last of five sisters to leave us
Yet our normal lives carry on
Today Betty Pansy joins her sisters
To the resting place they have all gone

Lily, Winifred Rose, Violet,
Nellie May, Gladys Ivy, Betty Pansy
