Poetry: "I'd Rather Be Asleep Than Go To A Wake"

Poetry: "I'd Rather Be Asleep Than Go To A Wake"
[Note: A distant aunt-in-law or step-aunt recently passed away and I'm very ambivalent about travelling the long distance for the wake and funeral. In fact, I might not go at all.]

I'd rather be asleep than go to a wake
If I missed a closed casket my heart wouldn't break
Nor deal with people who's smiles are so fake
Who you'd otherwise tell to go jump in a lake... (to be cont'd?)
