When you wear anything other than black at a funeral, people will talk - well, on those days they did.

Isn't it silly how something like this poem can make you cry? But it does!

My dear Dad used to recite this.
He passed away three weeks ago. I wish I'd worn my brahn boots to his funeral :-)

Bravo Bravo. Come in mate

@Krzyszczynski I do not understand how Stan can get that sentance out, I can't, without smiling & choking up. What a wonderful picture it conjures up.
-
Come in, mate.

The dear aunt dies and at her funeral a family member wears brown boots instead of the traditional black. He gets cruely mocked and verbally abused by the others in the family, then when he dies they all find out he gave his black shoes to a homeless man. Makes you think don't it?

Superb, almost unique blend of gentle comedy and pathos, with a strong implied criticism of intolerance (quite a workload for one monologue!). My own dad wasn't a sentimental feller by any means, but once admitted to me that he found the inflection our Stan gives at the end to "come in, mate" deeply moving. And so it is.

We buried my dad 20yrs. ago, couldn't cry. Put this on, let me let go of my grief. Wonderfull song " we didn't know, he didn't say ".
