The Lyrics

I was at a flea market this weekend and saw the last thing I'd ever expect to see being sold there. Discount caskets! No joke. I thought this can't be good and imagined all kinds of problems with such an enterprise. I almost expected to see a sign that would have said "We crate for who's late" given the atmosphere of a flea market. Anyway it prompted me to write something about the experience and what I imagined. Check the URL in the lower comments for a real news story about this subject.
There's wiskets, and baskets,
A flea market is tactless.
It's got those shabby lights above,
It sits the way they flopped it.
They plopped it and flopped it,
That's just the way they cropped it.
Little toys and pick up trucks,
But what I saw next topped it.

There's wiskets, and baskets,
Good Lord, there's discount caskets.
What could be better for your love,
And in the ground they plopped it.
They flopped it and plopped it,
There was no way to stop it.
It's half destroyed, all nicked up,
But saving's in my pocket.

Can't lift it, this casket,
The grave yard guy done trashed it.
We'll have to tote it back above,
Since gravity has stopped it.
They flipped it, they flopped it,
Into the ground they popped it.
A bad deploy, they dicked it up,
Now hoist it with a sprocket.

Reminds me of the old joke.... A pan-handler asked a guy for $500,000. The guy said, "What?? Are you out of your mind? Why are you asking for half a million bucks?" The pan-handler replied, " I decided to save time and just put all my begs in one ask-it. "
