Last Will

Her last will and testament 

Was an unfinished grocery list.

Or was it finished?

Was it very simply that

The only thing she really needed in life

Was a can of lard?

How hard it is to discover 

The intent of a woman!

Who can declare it?

She also left one cent behind on the counter,

A tip for the universe

For the gift her life had been.

Now what is the proper tip rate again?

20 percent?

Well I guess that penny is a statement, too.

That, in combination with the one big fat ingredient 

On the woman’s grocery list,

Together exist to form her last will....

And testament.
