3 August 2012

He stepped up to the gallows

Just before the noose pulled tight

And the hood upon his head

Blocked out all the light

A million random thoughts

Electrified his brain

If he had another chance

Would he do the same again

Well yes, of course he would

He had a family to feed

And in these times of hardship

He'd given in to greed

But that, it seems, was then

And this of course, is now

He'd see his wife again

And his child, someday, somehow

But it wouldn't be in life

He'd be sitting with his Lord

High up in the firmament

Having cut his earthly cord

So come now, Mr. Hangman!

Commit the final deed

I'm the winner here my friend

My wretched soul is freed

So with a sudden crack

A living death is done

He's long since finished twitching

And he's with his wife and son
