Death is not taboo

I hate to admit this,
I fear going home after work,
To discover the cold body of my pet,
With his eyes rolled back,
Four limbs pointing to the sky,


My pet, yes, the first one, is almost 3 years old,
Consider that ripe old age for hamsters.
Senior citizenship for him,
Cause he moves slowly,
And is almost hard of hearing,
And there is this illness that is bothering him,


I hope for the best,
And plan for the worst.


It is better to be mentally prepared,
And get the necessary “items” ready in time,
For my mind can be in a state of melancholy,
In times of mourning,
So I guess I rather sort out my thoughts in advance,
And act according to what is deemed appropriate.


These are the coff**** that I have painstakingly collected over the past few months.




Set A
See through







Set B
Sleek black
& white




Set C
Pretty floral







Set D
Tough and rugged


The question to ask, perhaps, is to bury or to cremate?

Bury if you have land and do not have to dig up the remains for building new condo.

All are nice boxes to sleep in :)
