When I Die , bury me deep Ten feet down fast as deep…
“When I Die , bury me deep Ten feet down fast as deep. Place my Maths book on my head. Tell my teacher that I am dead, place my geography book on my chest. Tell my teacher how I am at rest. Place my physics in my right hand. Tell my teacher nothing I understand, place my English book on my left. Tell my teacher I tried my best, Also tell my teachers not to cry. For they are those who made me die.”
