If I should die before I wake ...
Prompted both by today's events and other posts, here is my recipe for a perfect Bin-shaped funeral:
Please dress in monochrome.
Please don't read your own poems at the service ... reciting at the wake (at which the monochrome dress code can be relaxed) is quite sufficient as long as it just occupies a little poetry corner1.
Please do read from the Gospels (including Thomas and Mary) and from the Dhamapadda.
Please bury me, or scatter my ashes, in a bluebell wood.
Please be terribly upset and remind everyone what a top-bloke I was ... save the embarassing stuff for when you're pissed later on though.
Please kill anyone who decides that my funeral is a good place for a fight.
1 Please feel free to stop any poetry that's crap.
