Here's another offering to Poet's Corner from a Treorchy gentleman.

"R.I.P."

They said he was a lovely chap

Kind to dogs and all that crap

A man who lived life to the full

Achieving goals and all that bull.

The preacher's voice drones on and on

My thoughts roam, Oh! so far

Into the past, to days long gone

Dear memories time can't mar.

My friend, the eulogy did paint

In colours quite amazing

It showed him like a ruddy saint

All sins and faults abrading.

But when he finds that Pearly Gate

The angels loud will cheer

And greet my very best old mate

With foaming pints of Beer.
