Not Dead

NOT DEAD

I lay upon me old brown bed
a fly did buzz around called Fred
The experts did claim that I was dead
But I did disagree

It happened in the month of may
They wouldn’t shut up, I couldn’t say
So prostrate there I did lay
Me spirit wasn’t free

She put me in an old brown box
Cut hair from my brown fore lock
Sold all my deeds and online stock
But I just wanted to pee…

So down the hole they dropped the box 
Bounced off the walls dislodged the rocks
The sermon boring, waffled lots
I’m clawing to be free….nope
