The Corpse, Oooh, how exquisite!!

[Manna]

the wood grain was a fingerprint
a life simply told
Lets the story unfold
the doors are wide open
the sun saunters in
yellow pyjamas, yellow slippers and clichéd pipe, introduces his 3 sons all called Ray
with pox marked thighs and scrawny feet they live to fight another day
pent up in boxes and featherless
weak chickens get slaughtered and sold as premium
turkey, the seasonal choice
while lips of the delta, chased all year long
to escape the dullness of the preceding line
I spread my legs, the butter, and exciting rumours
over his lips as he listens, open-mouthed
Whilst hung in the air were the words he espoused

Thanks to all who participated!

Teehee... what fun that was. Will we be having a formal burial or just hoisting the corpse on the pyre?

Thanks for initiating the idea, Manna.

Paula, I just can't imagine who it was but you would be looking for someone subversive yet witty, someone cold yet looking forward to going somewhere seriously hot from Saturday.

Lizzie I think you are right throw the corpse on the pyre and break its skull and let its spirit run free.

Manna if you do another one bagsy I am not behind Michael.

Michael I would like to live in your head for an hour. Where are you going for Crimble that is very hot?
