“BLESSED REVEREND”

WILBUR GLENWORTHY

“They ( the Americans) talk

entirely for their own pleasure

and they never expect you to listen!”

― Evelyn Waugh, The Loved One

Whispering Glades is blessed—

Having the “Blessed Reverend”

Wilbur Glenworthy (Jonathan Winters)

The Blessed Reverend runs—

Whispering Gay Blades Cemetery

Like a Disneyland Memorial Park

Like some grandiose Theme Park—

Right out Walt Disney, everything

There is so pretty, perfect, phony

He paints a gay face on the—

Dreaded eventuality of Death

Giving viewing areas romantic names

Like The Gay Gothic Slumber Room—

The receptionists masquerading as

Sexy smiling Black Widow Spiders

In tight black speedos and a wink—

Plus low décolletage big bulging biceps

To impress the weeping gay clientele

Ominous organ music follows—

‘The Blessed Reverend’ all around

More like a mob boss than funeral director

Making as much money as possible—

The main goal of the establishment

On your Loved One’s final journey
