Funeral for the letter U

The girls have some vinyl letters for sticking on the wall in the bathtub. When the letter U tore in half one day, they decided to give it a proper burial.

the letter U, R.I.P. mourners at the viewing

Malini made a casket and Uma recited the eulogy, based on comments we all made at the funeral of a pet fish a few months back: "U, you were a very good letter and we will miss you very much." Other letters assembled to mourn their lost companion.

They asked me to provide music so I picked up the ukulele and composed the following dirge on the spot:

         Gm                Cm
      Oh U you died and we miss you . .
      Gm                Dm
      U you died and we miss you . .
      (repeat forever)
U is now interred under some clothes in their closet.
