Necropants
Necropants
A fashion trend that I see not growing
Is Necropants pants for those who’re not knowing
They are an ancient Icelandic money scheme
Let me explain just what I mean
You must get permission from some living man
To take over his skin when he no longer can
After he’s buried, you dig up his body
And flay the skin before it gets shoddy
It must be in one piece from the waist to the foot
And then into this skin your body you put
A coin must be stolen from poor old widow
And placed in the scrotum right there in the middle
Nabrokarstafur, an Icelandic design
Is also placed there as a magical sign
Consequently the coin and design will draw in
Money from folks who have seen the skin
As long as that coin in the scrotum is there
The wearer of skin will have money to spare
But there is one drawback that you need to know
To ensure your salvation just before you go
You have to convince someone else just like you
To step into the pants at the moment you’re through
If no one is willing to don the pants then
You’re damned for eternity – what say you my friend
Another true news story from your Uncle Mike
