Dead But Won'T Lay Down

Doris's time is flying by, She looks like she is about to die Some people thought she was already dead As in the obituary, they had read Just that morning. That Doris's family were mourning Her demise. A few weeks later Doris was on an escalator. Doris had a smile on her face When she passed, her daughter Grace, Going down the moving stairs. Doris was going up the escalator, Grace was going down, Doris was wearing an elegant hat, As she was going to town. Doris was amused That her dysfunctional family thought her dead They had read the obit wrong, It was Doris, Doris's friend instead!! Doris may look old and grey, But she lives to tell this tale today.
