[bodytext] => I cannot afford to die! It’s enough to make one weep With my current elation Over body donation There’s always a compost 'eap! I cannot afford to die ave you seen the price of a coffin? The price of a casket A waste paper basket? Pound stretcher for me to go offin! I cannot afford to die There’s organ ,epitaph and vicar If I’m thrown in the ground With not a word or a sound Time’s money, so lets make it quicker! I cannot afford to die! There’s a blimming great ‘ole in me purse On which straw cart Can me body depart That’s not a donkey is it? driving me earse? I cannot afford ter die! There’ll be a charge at the pearly gate! With me luck no admission, For those with no provision! And no benefits when you die intestate. I cannot afford to die! I’ll ‘ave to stay on the earth some more. Cross me off the bloggs! I aint poppin’ ma cloggs. Austerity measures so ard to ignore. I cannot afford to die! But living’s an expensive wait If you ‘ave a spare grave Can you give me a wave Before I leave this world too late!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
