Put To Good Use

My kids they have big plans for me

When I leave this side for eternity

They know I'm taking with me my soul

But with the rest they're opening up a store

They're going to take and stretch my skin

And make leather furniture out of it

But not before they shave all my hair

For the making of fuzzy wuzzy underwear

They'll nail my eyeballs to the wall

So I can keep watch on the store

In case they ever need a break

Or in the morning when they're running late

The rest they'll either throw away

Or set out on the dogs dinner plate

No matter what it is they do

I'm sure they'll put me to good use

I wonder if that's why they're fattening me up

So in the end it'll boost profits



This actually came about from my kids telling me when I die they're going to make a couch out of me...Living in Florida I hang out in the sun a lot! Lol!
