Where There's a Will

You left your watch to Cousin George;
You'd lots of time for him.
The charming, chiming mantle clock
Was always meant for Tim.

The Steinway grand piano
You left to Uncle Will?
No one had ever seen it.
We're looking for it still.

Aunt Sarah always wanted
Your favourite Windsor chair.
To only get the cuckoo clock
Was more than she could bear.

The gardener you remembered
By giving him the sack,
Together with a note that said
You didn't want it back.

The house of course was Edward's
He also got your car.
You left the cat a bowl of milk
And left the door ajar.
