Re: A Wake

And probably being quite annoyed to boot.

I wrote this after reading another poem that had this structure (can't remember what it was, but it was a "classic" poem, from an anthology). I don't remember where the topic came from, but I'd heard stories about wakes and why they were done. I love irony, and this ended up quite ironic and humanly tragic...

Thanks for the comments.
