I'd like to leave some instructions for a whimsical and irreligious
funeral, but I have my doubts as to whether my wishes would really be
carried out.
I guess that after they shovel all my artwork, scripts and films into a
landfill, some doddering cat-lick harp polisher will mumble some
religious doggerel over my rotting corpse, and everyone will be
satisfied that solemn dignity has been maintained...
My ideas run more along the lines of a New Orleans Jazz band... all the
dandelion wine you can drink... and maybe a loop of Fatty Arbucke and
Mable Normand shorts playing on the side of my pine box... everyone
would be issued a "sharpie" so they could write amusing limericks on the
sky blue MuMu in which I wish to be buried... It goes w/o saying that I
will carve my own tombstone... my epitaph might be:
"If you are a frog do not try to sing like a nightingale. Croak and
but that would take an awful long time to carve!
