The sky was dark and dreary,
                My legs were weak and weary,
                I was far from home that night,
                I fear was lost, my sorry plight.

                Then up ahead I spied a farm,
                Its warmth would save me from cold's harm,
                Into the barn with stealth I crept,
                Far worse places the night I've slept.

                I went to sleep in cattle's manger,
                Was unaware, impending danger,
                By loud banging, I was awoke,
                And then I saw, near had a stroke.

                From out the loft, a coffin loomed,
                I knew right then, my life was doomed.
                As coffin banged across the floor,
                I feared that soon, would be no more.

                I was so scared, out of my mind,
                When in my pocket I did find,
                A mentholyptus Luden's drop,
                Popped in my mouth to coffin stop.

I thought you were leading up to a dreary demise, but you were only coffin;
boy was I surprised.

Good one. I liked it very much. Caught totally off guard with the ending.
