AI6YR Ben on Nostr: Please don't embalm me when I'm still alive because I think I'd still like to drive ...

Please don't embalm me when I'm still alive
because I think I'd still like to drive
Down the street when I'm not quite dead
Say hello again to my pal Fred
Embalming fluid is really not to drink
I do suppose it would be yucky, I think
Rather not be pickled while I can still see
What those funeral workers are doing to me
Alas, when I finally do die
For heavens sake, don't make me wear a tie.
