Poem
Necropants A fashion trend that I see not growing Is Necropants pants for those who’re not knowing They are an ancient Icelandic money scheme Let me explain just what I mean You must get permission from some living man To take over his skin when he no longer can After he’s buried, you dig up his body And flay the skin before it gets shoddy It must be in one piece from the waist to the foot And then into this skin your body you put A coin must be stolen from poor old widow And placed in the scrotum right there in the middle Nabrokarstafur, an Icelandic design Is also placed there as a magical sign Consequently the coin and design will draw in Money from folks who have seen the skin As long as that coin in the scrotum is there The wearer of skin will have money to spare But there is one drawback that you need to know To ensure your salvation just before you go You have to convince someone else just like you To step into the pants at the moment you’re through If no one is willing to don the pants then You’re damned for eternity – what say you my friend Another true news story from your Uncle Mike
