Well, clear off the table
For I don't think I am able
Put me on the table top
With a leaden little plop

The food was rich and sweet
But I should've been more wise
For on the third course of meat
Is where I met my demise

Well, I stopped when I knew
That my face was turning blue
But by then it was too late
Face first I fell in my plate

Rising from their plates
Other diners checked my eyes
But it was far too late
For I had met my demise

So bathe my cold, hard skin
Shave the whiskers from my chin
Dress me in my favorite kilt
Place me in a box well built

As the worms and beetles feed
On my skin and on my eyes
I truly hope that I will be
Like me their own demise

Notes to Alicat:
1) Do not dine alone.
2) Make sure someone in the party knows the Heimlich maneuvre.
3) Make sure that someone likes you lots!
4) Stay away from buffets... just in case suggestions 1-3 fail. *G*

Enjoyed!

Very cute. This remind me of the one Monty Python scene, damn I forget the fat guys name. But he was huge and John Cleese was the waiter and tried to get him to eat "just one wafer thin mint" and the guy exploded all over the restaurant.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
