When The Wheels Came Off

Stupid Things We Say

By Earl W. PearlPublished 10 months ago Updated 10 months ago 1 min read

How silly these words when it ended a life

“He died doing that that he loved doing most”

A high flying hobby is not without strife

If something goes wrong and you “give up the ghost”

The people that say it are morons no doubt

Those funeral nitwits, when push comes to shove

I give my permission to throw someone out

As nobody’s screaming says squat about love
