From the Grave...

Humor, horror, what the hell is the difference, it is all in fun, and no pun is there intended...

FROM THE GRAVE…


 


first a finger pokes out of the fresh dirt,


woe to those near when out pops my shirt,


for not too very long thereafter,


the remainder of my worm eaten corpse,


comes forth from its un-natural sleep,


no electric blankie have I down there,


no dog to help keep me warm,


only my clothes to layer.


 


kate has granted Rufuz’ request,


to allow me to live again as one of her minions,


worse yet I seem to smell that of onions,


must have been buried in a field where they grow,


but better than to be like ed k,


picked at and chewed by the birds he loved so,


the venerable & much maligned, crow.


 


 


So, allow me to here say, how much I do thank,


That old witch from the northlands,


for allowing me to further serve her,


beyond that of her previous feast,


with me as her main meal, just so much yeast,


I sit here and feed Rufuz,


and eat for myself,


what was left of my belly button fuzz…

Hey Ed, I read that you were dead. I think you're going to come back as a dog named "Dufus" to keep Rufuz company. LOL.

Ed, --live life, not death. You have much to put into words and we have plenty of time before death takes its toll. b

Caw, Caw, Caw!

Death does Become You, Onion Breath!

And we haggard old resurrected crows just love picking at onions. We like onion eyes the best! Caw, Caw, Caw!
