Sir: You'll have to take him with you. It's for those left behind, not those recently ....Well you know what I mean.

"But I am leaving him behind." I replied.

"Coping with death"... "That's a bizarre sign!? I can't make out the fine print.. Let get a little closer and have a look see". Huh? I wonder why it says 'the devil is in the bushes' instead of details? Oh crap!"

Now I lay me down to sleep
The lunch from St Mary's I pray to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray this lunch is mine to take.
