Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Waking Up In the Morgue

Waking Up in the Morgue

By Elton Camp

Here’s more evidence of the conviction 
That truth may be stranger than fiction
When a man suffered an asthma attack
Of signs of life there was a total lack

In the morgue’s cooler he was put away
And there he remained for an entire day
Until the attendant heard a voice call out
“Help!  What the heck is this all about?”

And when the local paramedics did arrive,
They found the man indignant and alive
It’s a good thing he awoke in the refrigerator
Not when being cremated in the incinerator
