Here Lies The Body of Old Man Peas… “A merry heart does good like a medicine..” – Proverbs 17:22 A woman went to the funeral of a deceased friend and heard a poem that she absolutely loved. It went like this: “Here lies the body of old man peas, buried beneath the flowers and trees, but peas ain’t here, just the pod, peas shucked out and went to God.” When her husband of 50 years passed, she thought that it would be the perfect poem to recite at his funeral. She stood up and began the poem but as she looked out at the crowd she began to get nervous and it came out like this: “Here lies the body of old man peas, buried beneath the flowers and trees, but peas ain’t here, just the shell……..”and then came the awkward silence.
