BWinner's Note: I got the idea for this after a bout of insomnia over the course of last night. As I had been mulling over my Sebastian persona poem I got thinking I wanted to write one for my other favourite character, Undertaker. He's a challenging bugger since he's not a fully developed character yet and we don't know the reasoning behind a lot of his actions (Campania arc for example). This is a blend of his personality from the anime and a teasing bit of the manga if anything. I hope it's at least satisfactory, but I know there are some who won't call it all that in character.

Disclaimer: Undertaker is property of Yana Toboso, I do not profit from this writing.

Death Owns a Merry Laugh

No one knows the thoughts in this head,

When it was I began to romance the dead.

Each corpse met is lovelier than the last,

Through my hands their mortality is cast.


Greetings from the head of that noble family;

Wretched queen's orders weigh small shoulders heavily.

Before I'll guide you along your path…

You know payment is a first rate laugh.


A snicker, a chortle, a giggle, and guffaw,

Such sounds, musical and glorious, leave me in awe.

As new humorous tales are gradually unfurled,

My need is nurtured, more laughter in this world.


Prepared for you, my specially tailored coffin,

Its care and embellishment is nothing to be lost in.

Such great joy to be the undertaker,

More satisfying ways to help folks meet their maker.
