Formal Affair

 

Stone dead

The body lays bare

As the flies

Are drawing near

 

The stench came by

Horrible and gross

It's the death

The mortician

Loves the most

 

This body was living

No kiss good-bye

And now it’s dead

A family will cry

 

A farewell to you

As you go down

Death chose you

A way to drown
