Shags Has Hung Himself by Everybodyduck
WITHOUT FAIL FROM DAWN TO DUSK AT OUR HOUSE EVERYDAY
AT LEAST A HUNDRED NEIGHBOUR KIDS WOULD COME ARIUND TO PLAY
AND OF ALL THE KIDS THAT CAME TO PLAY CHRIS STICKS OUT IN MY
MIND
THAT SORT OF FRIEND WHO ALWAYS STUCK BY YOU
YOU KNOW, THE LOUD OBNOXIOUS KIND
AND SOMETIMES OUT OF THE BLUE, THE DOORBELL ON OUR HOUSE
WOULD RING
BUT WHEN WE'D OPEN UP THE DOOR WE'D NEVER FIND A THING
AND THOUGH WE NEVER SAW HIM' WE KNEW CHRIS HAD RUNG THE BELL
CAUSE WE'D BARELY GLIMPSE THAT FAT SHADOW THAT WE ALL KNEW
TOO WELL
THEN ONE MORNING IN PLACE OF CHRIS' HIS MOTHER CAME INSTEAD
SHE LOOKED AT ME WITH SADDENED EYES AND THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID
CHRISTOPHER WON'T COME TO PLAY TODAY
SHAGS POOR SHAGS HAS HUNG HIMSELF
