About Dead People

Respect dead people and never sleep with them Don't expect call backs from the dead Smoking, drinking and deceased in trunks of cars Are bad habits and probably against the law in Alabama It is impolite to shoot dead people out of canons Or drop them from airplanes way up high at midnight Though they have no fear of flight or need of parachutes The activities are rude so just don't do it Dead people belong in cemeteries or in urns Not meant to be refrigerated in home appliances Or kept next to the milk and cheese for freshness They are not good company but make great listeners Carpool lanes move faster with more bodies in the car When stopped for speeding dead people come in handy Place one of them in the driver's seat to get the fine They don't mind screaming cops or ticketing Let them rest in peace with or without a seatbelt on The safest place on Earth to sleep is in the cemetery Dead people will never hurt you because they are dead Fear the living because they are alive and kicking heads
