Dr. Seuss Does Death

Don't pump me full of chemicals
and bury me in the ground.
Just toast me 'til I'm ashes
and spread me all around

Don't need a final resting place
for folks to come and mourn
I'd rather fertilize the Earth;
a part of me reborn

Into a flower or a tree,
or maybe just some grass.

Eternity inside a box?
I think I'll take a pass.
