It was his Uncle’s funeral
The young boy went to the viewing.
As stony-faced adults filed past,
There was some trouble brewing.
It seems the Uncle wasn’t dead
Which only needed proving.
The nephew called out from his seat,
‘Look everyone, he’s moving! ‘
Some ladies fainted on the spot,
It took a lot to calm them.
It seems the undertaker had
Forgotten to embalm him!
