Ghoulish Gala

On the day we went to pay our
respects to the dead.
We was not prepared for the sight
we saw instead.

T'was the annual grave diggers
barbecue that we did find.
All the undertakers were there
and the children didn't
seem to mind.

The burgers were sizzling
and the music blasting out loud.
Not the usual for the poor souls
wrapped up in a shroud.

We was not sure what to do
with the wreath.
Now that there was no place for
our grief.
So we grabbed a hot dog and
a large diet coke,
began to dance and a
headstone got broke.

So the grave diggers began their
party games.
Dancing around the tombs
and guessing the names.

Then it was time for the annual
Burke and Hare awards.
Who had the best shovel
and dug the most rewards.

So that was the end of our night.
grooving with the grave diggers
now seems allright.
So we went home tired and weary
knowing that a visit to the cemetery
was now not so dreary.
