put the fun
in funeral
get black balloons. . .
scatter ash like confetti
and hang a banner:
“get well soon”
to show you’re ironic
(“bon voyage” altogether too predictable)
an upside down cake at wake
or devil’s food,
and of course–
a piñata.
No sendoff is complete without
a creped animal
stuffed with bittersweets. . .
and later on,
if you sense the festivities are
beginning to
pall–
suggest a rollicking round of Russian roulette,
followed by Musical Coffins
(naturally)
and Hangman
. . .
played out as charades.
