The Dead Were Not Actually Dead

 

many moons ago

let the real truth be told

the undertaker would attach a bell on the toe of the dead

right before they were actually embalmed

if the bell would ring

the dead were actually alive

many times before those alive were buried dead

until that glorious bell on the toe

There was a tale of a tramp that visited my grandma

it was thought that he was dead

until the bell rung on his toe to let them know

although those many years have passed

still having a great reason to grasp

my grandma would share he story

although today there is no longer a bell

I have such a great story to tell
