The Legend Has Died
Here lies Mrs. Brown today
She’d be in bed reading David Sedaris if she’d had her
way.
Instead she’s gone and I’m here to tell
She loved punk music and dressed pretty swell.
There are lots of things she would have liked to do
Such as watch Sixteen Candles again or work in a zoo.
So sad she has died and will never know how great
It would have been to drive an Audi R8.
She told me she was excited to start the school year
And for all of these reasons I now shed a tear.
