A Simple Tale

He knew at a glance that this wouldn't end well

- He'd started detecting a corpsey smell.

But shrugging this off, he continued to dig

Until his hole was very big.

A simple pursuit for a simple man

With a simple house and a simple van

And a simple hat and a simple wife

And a simple house and a simple life

And a simple cat and a simple dog

And a needlessly over-complicated frog

Whose legs were made out of Fermat's Last Theorem

And whose screams were so loud that the Eskimos could hear 'em.

It took them a while to discover the body,

For professional detectives their work was quite shoddy:

Too many doughnuts; too little forensics

But never mind that - are you able to lend six

Grand to my wife, as she's really quite sick

So shut up and get her to hospital, quick!
