Dead in a Shed

"The world is not so bad",

he said through the palpitations

Clutching at his chest,

some hesitation 

I hear he had an open casket, 

not so the mourners would 

blow a gasket; he was hoping

that they'd prod him 

Just to make sure he was 

really dead, before they 

stuck him in Earth's muddy

shed

"The world's not so bad,

but don't be so sad... 

I've just gone to catch up

on some well deserved sleep

For that I'm glad"

Can't help but wonder why he left from the shed and admire the open casket rationale!

I was almost afraid to read it, thinking I'd learn about some poor starved dog. Well, I guess I did.

Good poem.
