Ode to Ed
A strange mystery is played upon us,
by our omniscient God,
He spares one, at the cost of another,
who shall now be placed under the sod.
As I close this rather apathetic attempt at an eulogy,
I trust that the heavenly choir direly needed a good bass,
for we must believe there is a very good reason
that God would take Ed from us and this place.
