It’s raining; it’s pouring.

The old man was snoring.

(and then there was a horrendous boom of thunder,

a blinding bolt of lightening,

and he leaped up, startled,and then)

He bumped his head on the top of the bed,

and couldn’t get up in the morning.

(because he was dead from a head trauma)

Everything is funny, as long as it’s happening to somebody else – Will Rogers
