Safe in their Alcor cylinders,
Untouched by fungus and froze alive,
Sleep the bold members of the resurrection,
Nitrogen blanket, and bed of ice.

Light laughs the Christ in his castle of sunshine;
Preferring Heaven to the earth unloved;
Pray the sweet believers in ignorant cadence,—
Ah, what sagacity here preserved!

Dr. Suess meets The Reaper

Should we put him in a box? He won't jump out. We won't need locks.

Should we put him in a tomb? He doesn't seem to need much room.

Should we put him in a jar? Or spread his ashes near and far?

Should we salvage him for parts? There's always a demand for hearts!

Should we send him into space? It appeared to be his normal place.

Should we wrap him tight with gauze? And give him to a noble cause?

Should we freeze him in a bag? And give him an Alcor tag...

Let's just watch; see what he does. Let us, let us, Ted-That-Was.
