Waking Up In the Morgue

Waking Up in the Morgue By Elton Camp Here’s more evidence of the conviction That truth may be stranger than fiction When a man suffered an asthma attack Of signs of life there was a total lack In the morgue’s cooler he was put away And there he remained for an entire day Until the attendant heard a voice call out “Help! What the heck is this all about?” And when the local paramedics did arrive, They found the man indignant and alive It’s a good thing he awoke in the refrigerator Not when being cremated in the incinerator
