A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Gallows

The unruly mob beat me to death In the dank filthy street, Before the scaffolding had its chance To snap my whiskered neck Beneath the bone crushing force - Of the proverbially, (But still most certainly) No less than lethal Terminal velocity...Lucky me! It was a real load off My overactive imagination: Finally, some good news for a change! ...I didn't even have enough precious time To nervously vomit my last meal Before being ultra-violently killed... ...So there probably is a God after all... # Welcome to Gallows Humor 101: If you don't already know and understand by now, exactly what "gallows humor" is - Then I highly doubt a God of any nature can actually help you see the light before you've died - But this is just my professional opinion as a satirical author, who really should have become a medical doctor - If I ever wanted to be able to afford a legitimate interest in women.

Good shooting, Dialectic Crisis. You have a well-aimed, friendly shotgun on your hip.
