Crystalization, not Cremation !
There are truly a plethora of ways
that we can deal with our remains,
after the Grim Reaper punches our ticket stubs, for all eternity.
There's the traditional, burial in the ground...
cremation, burial at sea, and of course...cryogenics;
but what's stopping us all from being imaginative, and creative ?
Think about it, we all have our own idiosyncrasies,
personal opinions, and ideas in life...
so, why not in death ?
Let's face it, the reason there are so many ways
to lay one's self down for eternity...
is because of our individuality...for we are all "snowflakes".
For heaven's sake...those who can afford it,
can even send their remains out...into outer-space !
After all, you can't take it with you, can you ?
With all of this in mind, everyone should start planning, now !
Why, there could even be an after death clause
in all life insurance policies, to see thing, through.
I gave a lot of thought to being planted,
very prominately...under an apple tree;
so that friends, and family members could stop by for a taste, from time to time.
"Doc tastes good!", they'd say.....but, I would only be "fertilizer", in that regard.
So...I have decided to be "crystalized"!
That way, I can be inter-active in all my deadness.
Yes, crystalization is the perfect way to go,
for I could forever, be on display...
as the "snow"...inside a numbered, collector's edition set..........of Snow Globes !
