Obit For An Omelette
by Liam Ronan

Well! Consummatum est.
Let god sort out the rest.
Dust to dust;
and, in between, rust.
No lobster steam,=20
or white wine cream;=20
hot mocha moment;
just freeze-dried instants,
tap-tepid, insipid;
fish-fingered monk;=20
decanted plonk.=20
***
Con O=92Shea passed away;
Our sunny Times could say,
May the tenth; suddenly.
if once, accurately:
=91Bent Broker from Togher
cliff shags over Moher!
-his final margin cull-=20
Celt Tiger, Gaelic gull?=92
Missed by mingy mother;=20
whingy brother;
and, insignificant other,
Oona later discovered
duvet-smothered;
spring-rolled in a mat
inside the flat that
she, a Tart dot condom,
turned her inside trade from.
Mourned by mates and =91staffers=92.
Whistle-blowing grassers!
Removal at three; Mass at four.
Interment in St. Fion=FAir=92s.
No flowers.
