Well now I think I’ve seen it all
I really was appalled
To see a banner for something
It never thought at all
No I would never have thought I’d see
An ad for caskets on
Yes on a page where poetry
Was posted, where I had gone
I’m sure we’ll see some hospitals
With banner ads so we
Can book a time that we can go
To birth or get well, we’ll see
Do you think will happen next
I guess not shock would be
About an ad like this no doubt
There’s nothing much left you see
Death is what’s life’s about I know
And an ad like this it seems
Seems almost like a joke to me
But when I went the site to see
I found it not a joke at all
But there to sell to me,
All that I’d need for me
To travel on my final trip
A casket and flowers all things
That anyone would need to send
Them off inexpensively
Now all they need is find a way
To set up e-mail sites
So we can send to those who’ve gone
From here to their final sites
