Words to Your Mother: Postlude

A postlude is defined as a concluding piece or a final chapter.  Essentially, it is the opposite of a prelude.  The main place that I've seen it in practice is in music.  When a song follows a simple verse/verse or verse/chorus/verse/chorus format, a short additional piece at the end (especially using different music than the verses or choruses) might be referred to as a postlude.
