Requiescant In Pace.

May they rest in peace. God!

And what else might they be at

but resting and resting and resting

in peace, peace and more peace?

Was ever a sentiment more superfluous,

a gesture so blatantly vacuous,

amounting, some might say, to mockery,

wishing a body the very things not required,

having rest and peace in amounts unlimited,

guaranteed, indeed, for all eternity.

Self-satisfied ostentatious humbug!

If they could, and we know well they can't,

they'd haunt all such facile well-wishers

and happily never rest from doing so.

Peace! Thanks! Thanks for nothing!
