Down, falls as corpse from throne,
A genuine body, of which is the soul
At the ebb of migrating to eternity.
The soul very rightful with its body
Legitimate stood straight for the welfare
Of Nature’s inhabitants, inert and alert.
The ones that enjoyed
the highest collection
Of assiduous concern,
Which that personality has maintained
Which that personality has maintained
For his beloved
lovely progeny is,
As always,the witty astute shrewd man.
Procured the Time Manager,
The articles required;
Assembled them and positioned
In places apposite, for a royal burial
Of the priceless expiring body,
With commendable honour.
On observing the rites and rituals,
Keeps ready, the manager Time,
A well-built coffin to cremate
The massive twelve feet two O sixteen
And is going to enthrone gracefully
As the ruler of ours two O seventeen.
As the ruler of ours two O seventeen.
Good one. Reminds me of the phrase "The King is dead long live the king".
