We’ll bury her when we have time.

We’ll bury her when we get the chance.

We’ll bury her when we find the resources

when we gain the manpower

when it serves our ancillary objectives.

We understand the need

we appreciate your concern

we sympathize with the widower’s plight

but we don’t have the means

to prioritize this particular proceeding

at this time.

As soon as we have the ability

we will inform you

of the time, location and availability

of the burial

and we may even be able to finance the funeral,
to boot.

We will not,
however,
be able to fund the boots.
