Dearly Beloved...

We are gathered here today
to get through this thing called Life.

Electric word life -- it means Forever
and that's a mighty long time.
But I'm here to tell you... there's something else:
The After-World.

A world of never-ending happiness
you can always see the sun... day, or night!
...
In this life, things are much harder than in
The After-World.

In this life: you're on your own.
And if the elevator tries to bring you down?*
Go crazy!  Punch a higher floor...

* How could you not like a woman who chooses a purple-Prince tribute for her concession or victory speech?  She'll not be my president, and for that I am glad -- we need change after 8 years of inequality and stagnation -- but she is a strong woman.**  She'll have an After-Life, and won't end up at the bottom of an elevator like Prince... of that, I am certain.  Good luck, and Godspeed, Mrs. Clinton.

** It is better for a woman to have worked hard, competed on her own merits, and lost, than to have put on a pretty face and worked at being a people pleaser...
