In Memoriam

So she went ahead and died first.
All y’all sittin’ round, talkin' ‘bout it.
She went ahead on and blazed a trail
On the first astral freight train headed South,
Up through Cygnus, and the Southern Cross.
She went on ahead and died.
Six months ago she was forty-seven,
And still tryin' to please her crazy old daddy.
Now she’s forty-eight--
And gone.
