The Funeral Procession

What was going on in that car!

The Funeral Procession

 

 

By Elton Camp

 

 

The town’s richest old miser finally died

So only a few cars went on the final ride

 

 

Out to the cemetery to see him put away

Where he would stay until judgment day

 

 

A man on the sidewalk removed his hat

It was nice to see such respect as that

 

 

What I saw next looked  so much worse

Laughing in the car behind the hearse

 

 

The five in the car were in a good mood

It made me ask who could be that crude

 

 

My companion explained the lack of cares

“That car is the one carrying all his heirs.”
