The vulture’s very like a sack
Set down and left there drooping.
His crooked neck and creaky back
Look badly bent from stooping.
Down to the ground to eat dead cows
So they won’t go to waste
Thus making up in usefulness
For what he lacks in taste.--X. J. Kennedy
rickthevulture, I used to ask my ex to flush me down the toilet like a goldfish when I die, but I'll consider becoming vulture food! I worry that the goldfish strategy will clog the toilet!

The Kennedy poem is brilliant!
Then your ex can sell your skeleton to a medical school!
OK, that was about my weirdest comment ever. :-(
