The Death Notice
"Davy, never again Send me on an errand like that!" In exasperation was spoken To my father by my uncle Matt. Placing insertions in the paper Was a regular task of the trade But my father deemed unusual What the widow had wanted said. My uncle approached her gently To get her to change her mind To 'Gone to a better place' Or something of a similar kind. "Whatever damn place he's gone to Is no concern of mine So long as not back with me, And I wish them joy with the swine." So ladies when choosing a spouse And taking him home to your bed Think would you welcome him still Even after he's dead. |
