A Typical SPQR2Gang Funeral Poem

Recorded at the funeral of James "Jim" Walker, published with permission of his family.

O Jim, O Jim, O Jim, O Jim, O Jim,
We gather now to leave this man to him.
Remember all that made him Jim, within
The frail protection of man's mortal skin.
The lord demands of us: remove the foot,
Great sovereign, leave his soul correctly put,
The day upon which he was first bereaved.
