Purveyors of fine poetry since 2003.
In the British Museum, we dead have so many grave goods now! But even in the afterlife, there’s a closing time.
(Seriously, why is it so acceptable to desecrate graves in our culture? Older portions of British cemeteries are routinely dug up and the old burials disposed of to make way for new tenants. No wonder it’s considered acceptable to plunder graves for archaeological purposes and publicly display the finds in perpetuity.)
