Hearse Detective (The Original) From Coffin Chaser...Humour.
Hearse Detective
I once heard a story of a woman called ina
who's nickname was hearse detective
the coffins she chased defined her
in case the deceased didn't have any friends
ina was there for you in the end.
Now ina was known for looking up deaths
to see where she may have to travel to next
she'd donned the black suit, her hat, and flat shoes
in case she had to go running like
the great Carl lewis.
She'd shake all the hands of the families and friends
no one would notice she's a stranger to them
she'd have a good feed, a few pints of beer
then sing a wee song, a send off with good cheer
escort the deceased to the heavens that is near.
For ina'd be there, the last to the death (no pun intended) ;)
to make sure the send-off was one of the best.

That's one very funny poem. Noticed your name from Bri Edwards' monthly Showcase. It works. And I'll thank him for directing me your way. A really funny piece. Loved it Tom Billsborough
Amusing little tale, when you get to my age any funeral that I go to that's not mine is a stroke of luck.
