Funeral Poem by William B. Deutscher

Funeral

Morbid day thick,
Jingle at the gates.
Cemetery noon,
Bargain casket rates.

October leaves
Falling in the wind.
Mourners' ranks
Notably thin.

Blonde widow stands
Sobbing in black.
Gray sky wet,
Loud thunder crack.

Shapely widow,
Feel her pain.
Listen to her sobbing
In the rain.

Austere tombstone,
Permanent address.
Numbers carved out,
Birth and death.
