What Boils Soot?
Whatever shall we do with your Aunt Sadie?
She's been dead for a week and she's starting to smell
Shall we bury her under the pecan tree, whataya think?
No! Let's bury her over by the old wishing well
Whatever shall we do with Cousin Larry?
He's gone quite insane from drugs you know
Betty Ford Clinic or should we just wash our hands of him?
I think there's no point, just let him go
Whatever shall we do with your friend, Sammy?
She dropped out of college and is looking for work
He majored in hoola hoopery, whataya think?
S(he)'s of indeterminate sex and is just a jerk
Whatever shall we do with that rummy Porky?
He's a tad obese and a bit of a shit
Shall we spike his drink with cascara, whatya think?
And buy him a baggy new suit that will fit?
Whatever shall we do with what's left of summer?
The snowmen are melting and covered with soot
Should we boil them down til they are no more, whaddya think?
I say the question now borders on moot
