You have a great sense of humour, Jerry! I enjoyed this immensely (as I do all your poems.)
I often wonder whether I should plan my own funeral as I feel it can be such a stressful time for family. When my mother passed and I went to the florist to choose some flowers, they told me of someone who had chosen her flowers long before the event and they'd made a display of silk flowers for her which would easily last until needed. Interesting!
Talking of your birth, my mother told me she found me picking apples! Ha!

Keep 'em coming Jerry - I look forward to reading them
Hi Snow,
oh such stories mothers used to tell their exquisite children, but all that has passed. Kid's are too smart these days, and in many instances, moms allow their older children to observe the miracle of birth--something that's totally against my grain. But to each his own. On the subject death?
"Many die too late, and a few die too early. Die at the right time," thus teaches Zarathustra," lol, and who am I to argue that philosophy. I wonder about preselecting my own funeral flowers . . . would you really smell the daisies? Naw; just surprise me.
I'm glad you came about to read my latest write; I'd begun to feel like the proverbial standup comedian without an audience. Well, somebody has got to keep the stage lights lit, right?
Thanks, Snow. Have a good day,
Jerry
