Shop before you drop

Today I shopped before I droppedto a funeral shop I briefly poppedI popped in before I pop offbefore I cough my final cough! I might have walked right past the shopbut an A-frame poster made me stopit said ‘JUST FOR TODAY AN END OF LINE SALE!20% OFF AND A FREE CRATE OF ALE!’ well it’s never too early to plan aheadthere’ll be plenty of time to rest when I’m DEAD do you want oak beech or bamboo basketor the eco-friendly cardboard casketsilk cotton or wallpaper lininggoose-down pillows for luxury reclining? I chose a large oak coffin with the finest claddingwith a TV and wi-fi in integral padding I said please deliver it NOW in your coffin vanI want to enjoy it while I still can!
