Going overboard


                             This is my final testament - I hate to disappoint
                                 your hopes for your inheritance, but here’s the finer point:
                             I tolerated selfishness with sacrificial grace
                                 so while it still belonged to me, I played my winning ace

                             and booked a cruise around the world in a coffin lined with lead
                                 with open-ended travel dates, to spoil me when I’m dead.
                             A single cabin with a view has been reserved for me;
                                 which brings me to my last request - don’t bury me at sea.
