This old man, he played one
He's choking on a chicken bone
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played two
He is now three shades of blue
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played three
He can barely even wheeze
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played four
He's passed out upon the floor
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played five
I don't think that he's alive
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played six
They asked, "Revive?" and were told, "Nix!"
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played seven
His stomach looks like it have leaven
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played eight
He the worms did satiate
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played nine
His friends are singing "Auld Lang Syne"
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave

This old man, he played ten
I bet he won't eat fast again
With a snick-snack, sugarshack
Do not misbehave
Eat yourself into the grave


Alicat, with apologies  




 As I sit here dimly thinking
Watching modem lights a-blinking
Churning out poetic hash.
Lord, in all Your piety,
Help me keep my sanity:
Please don't let the modem crash! --Alicat

Indeed no apologies needed, a message all too true with a theme song too

Excellent Ali. . .

Dark and twisted. . . I like it. . . but I've always been this way. . .

ROFL - I don't see a need for apology, Alicat.  This was great.
