After Momma’s Funeral
Three Voices:
Where does – I mean, did –
Momma keep the coffee?
That cupboard over the
coffee maker
The preacher prayed a fine
funeral for her
He’s an idiot; no one
believes that stuff
Momma did; I say that’s
what important
Let’s not argue; Momma
wouldn’t like it
It doesn’t make any
difference; she’s gone
And let’s not babble about
what Momma wants
I’m not babbling; Momma
raised us right, okay?
I want her Bible.
Fine; I want her car
