Death Owns a Merry Laugh
No one knows the thoughts in this head,
When it was I began to romance the dead.
Each corpse met is lovelier than the last,
Through my hands their mortality is cast.
Greetings from the head of that noble family;
Wretched queen's orders weigh small shoulders heavily.
Before I'll guide you along your path…
You know payment is a first rate laugh.
A snicker, a chortle, a giggle, and guffaw,
Such sounds, musical and glorious, leave me in awe.
As new humorous tales are gradually unfurled,
My need is nurtured, more laughter in this world.
Prepared for you, my specially tailored coffin,
Its care and embellishment is nothing to be lost in.
Such great joy to be the undertaker,
More satisfying ways to help folks meet their maker.

Well, here we have another poem I've gone on an adventure with. I got the idea for this after a bout of insomnia over the course of last night. As I had been mulling over my Sebastian persona poem I got thinking I wanted to write one for my other favourite character, Undertaker. He’s a challenging bugger since he’s not a fully developed character yet and we don’t know the reasoning behind a lot of his actions (Campania arc for example). This is a blend of his personality from the anime and a teasing bit of the manga if anything. I hope it's at least satisfactory, but I know there are some who won’t call it all that in character.
Edit: The message here said I wanted to draw an image for this, I did: fav.me/d5siqz6 (it's also the little icon for the poem).
Oh... and I may be uploading this like four months on the late side, but something cool happened with this poem, Undertaker's voice actor read it out at one of his panels during Sakura-Con 2013 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=psGV6R… (if you want to hear it that way).

sad that I didn't find this masterpiece sooner, it's 2018 and I have just stumbled upon this, it's wonderfully beautiful
