Last orders
Make me a coffin of wicker please, made with precision and pride
long enough, with a well fitting lid, and handles on each side
line the inside with something nice, Ill be in it for quite a while
so a cheerful colour and pattern, something to make me smile
I'd like some kind of mattress, and a pillow for my head
so that I can be comfortable, while I get used to being dead
boredom could be a problem, some puzzles would be good
and perhaps a little pen knife so I can whittle things from wood
oh and can I have a telephone, if you would be so kind
with some numbers on the speed dial, in case I change my mind.
