The eulogy for Edward was unusually enviable.
The extended entourage sat enthralled
by the exploits of this ebullient eccentric.
Words echoed his easy going way,
effusive, always eagle eyed for earthenware.
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment,
he really was efficacious in his effervescence,
educated in the ecstasy of good eats,
they smiled remembering the effects of effluence.
As time elapsed laughter erupted from the elders
embarrassed by the embellishment of emissions,
yes, he really was eminent and now embalmed.
No longer emitting.
