Nasrudin's Advice On Carrying A Coffin Poem by Raj Arumugam

Nasrudin's Advice On Carrying A Coffin



O Nasrudin
asks a man
tell of us ritual
and proper procedures:
Which side should I stand on
when I carry a coffin:
on the right, the left,
in front or at the back?
O Nasrudin,
which is proper?


O, dear friend,
says Nasrudin
it doesn’t matter;
just make sure you’re not
inside the coffin!
