Dinner At the Last Wake
Seldom you come, you never said grace
You sit at the table
With a frown on your face
The table set before you the food is present
Yet you say not a blessing
Dinner at the last wake
You choke and you hold your throat
But no one comes to you
You gasp and you choke
Know one rescues you
Yet you say not a blessing
Dinner at the last wake
What's wrong, your ungrateful
You shallow a chicken bone
Pale you turn, choked, choking OH!!!
You place your hand across your neck
But to late, alas no one does the Hymleck
A small piece of apple
A hot spot of pie
A fish bone that stuck in your throat
And hits you also in the eye
But no one comes to you
You gasp and you choke
Yet you say not a blessing
Know one rescues you
What's wrong, your ungrateful
You sit at the table
With a frown on your face
The table set before you the food is present
Yet you say not a blessing now your at rest
For you have finally choke to death
For this is your last dinner your asleep. . .
