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
