Michael Philips - Eulogy Instructions

Don’t drift off into spiritual BS crap
like surfers BS-ing about the holiness of surfing.
Talk about what you admired,
and I don’t’ mean his car
and its aluminum V-6 engine
and dashboard navigation system.
Speak with emotion,
especially in a winsome way.
Raise your eyebrows.
Obviously, don’t go negative,
particularly about what a goddam control freak he was
and how he would never back down in an argument
or give you the benefit of the doubt.
