Where There's a Will
WHERE THERE IS A WILL
It has been over three months now and still no Grans will
Through the letterbox; comes another, got to be paid bill
As the insurance didn’t cover for my Grans Zombie death
Then left all alone, to clean up after the Zombie aftermath
Then there were the bills for dear old Grans cremation fee
Nobody ever thinks of this; after that Zombie killing spree
Maybe I should have just kept her cheaper in the long run
As life after the zombies had left me feeling, so hard done
I'm on the back porch overlooking the back garden yonder
And to where my Grans will was; I am left alone to ponder
The cats are out there digging seems they found a mound
Strange; I can’t remember burying anything in the ground
So I got myself a spade and helped the cats along the way
Could this be where Gran had hid the will and my lucky day
Well; what a flamin’ shocker, when up popped old man Will
Seems smelly Gran, did have a heart; after him, she did kill
And; had buried Will in our back garden as an afterthought
Maybe as to killing Will had left my Gran feeling overfraught
But thinking; of yet another bill, that I would be left to pay
I hit him over the head with my shovel, and just let him lay
I swore the cats to secrecy, no digging or no more tin tuna
As in a box you will be packed & quickly posted off to Cuba
Well; I found the will but not quite the one I was expecting
I was starting to wonder if that note left needed correcting
As I thought of another pork shank as then to give to Fred
Who was now, the only half living Zombie of the living dead
To amend the note left by Gran before she was dead, dead
But: if darn I could even understand, a flamin' word he said
Sounded like he was saying, it was hidden under Grans bed
And; that he had made a mistake on how Gran's letter read
So I left him chomping on the pork shank; and, off we went
The cats and me, now hoping, it’s what the message meant
I got a hammer and saw and the cats sharpened their claws
I set upon the floorboards praying, it was all in a just cause
The cats set upon the mattress, with, a vigour never known
And not to say the greed for a will should ever be condoned
But to no avail, smelly Gran's missing will just was not there
And the situation; so had the cats and me, totally in despair
We were running out of dosh: and, life was no longer a joke
The bank account was empty and, we were more than broke
With it no more big pork shanks for Fred in his potting shed
Who was as now roaming the streets playing the living dead
The army came and intervened, and took poor old Fred away
My fiscal load was lightened no more big pork shank’s to pay
No more visit's to Fred's potting shed, to feed him every day
And; darn no more tomatoes as they were juicy in every way
