Cook Me Quickly
There’s not much hydrogen, oxygen, dirt to go ‘round
So cook me quickly
Return me to the ground
Don’t mourn my passing
I’m always there
Each leaf on tree, each bird in air
It’s been a ride, my time on earth
Pure people known, such fun, such mirth
So cook me quickly
Release dried up bones
It’s all I’ve left but
Think what I’ve known
Vast glorious skies, sparkling sea views
Grandbabies’ smiles, tight traffic queues
So cook me quickly
Let me go, no sadness please
No burial slow
Just flames and heat and sparks of joy
Cook me quickly
Sit back, enjoy.
