Crab Louie Killed Uncle Stan Uncle Stan was a frugal man In many ways a miser - Likened to a Magpie Quite the financial advisor. Mindful of every penny He retired a wealthy man Still he lived a regular life Drove a ten-year-old mini-van. One exception Stanley made To his otherwise plain routine It seemed that Crab Louie Was his favorite cuisine. He always supped at the same place The Nantucket, at the end of the pier, He and buddies never missed a day Or a round of beer. One day around lunchtime The diner called the house The coroner was looking for Next of kin, or a spouse. Stanley had dropped dead Of a major heart attack Face down in his Crab Louie His head hit with a smack. It would be a cardinal sin To order his usual spread, So I think I’ll order The Lobster Louie instead. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |
