A Letter From Hu

My name is Hu, with a U
I am a teacher 
I work for a funeral home 
My job is to teach birds when to fly after the last eulogy 
I believe that every soul deserves a tribute after a significant life   
I work all day because a man who works is a responsible citizen 
After my long work day, I take a little nap 
Because if you want to have a healthy life, you need to take little naps 
It is scientific, not from a Holy Book or the Internet 
When I'm done napping, I take a snack 
Because if you want to have a healthy life, you need to take little snacks 
It is common sense; you don't need science, the World Wide Web or a clergyman to understand that 
When I'm done snacking, I check my bank account and make sure that my budget is balanced 
Because if you want to afford a healthy life, your budget better balance or They're gonna have a say on your organs when you leave the premise 
When I'm done balancing my budget, I watch the news 
Because if you don't want to get killed by a crazy butcher carrying the Truth in his left pocket or the weather 
You have to be informed; and the best way to be informed is to watch the news 
After a briefing on who put gasoline into who, what not to eat and from what brand, what not to inhale and what not to put in your bosom, I call my Peoples 
Because if you don't want to die alone, you must stay in touch with your Peoples 
It's called precaution; you might need extra food when World War 6 begins or when the Aliens respond to our incessant invitations 
When I'm done chatting and gossiping with my Peoples 
I take some Me time with a cup of tea and a game of patience 
Relaxing and daydreaming about my future; and also planifying my work load for the next day 
Because a responsible man like me must plan things ahead of time 
It's called logical thinking, something I could teach you when you have time 
Sorry for my poor orthograph 
I am a teacher, but I teach birds to fly
