Ode to George Carlin

He passed, you know.
Are you joking?
You mean he's,
dead, died, death,
Grim Reaper, dust-to-dust,
next of kin, below ground.

Buried/Bloodless/Breathless/
Corps y/Cadaver/Deceased/
Defunct/Departed/Ex animate/
Extinct/Gone/Inanimate/
Inert/Late/Lifeless/
Pass e/Reposing/Spiritless.

Dead as a door nail
Went the way of all flesh.
Pushing up Daisies.
Gave-up the ghost.
Shuffled off his Mortal Coil.

Eternal sleep.
Extreme Unction.
Ave aqua Vale.

Rest in Peace.
