Homemade Mummy

How to make a homemade mummy:

Get a corpse, get gauze, get comfy

Shampoo and disinfect dead fluffy

For the hallowed excavation of his x-marked tummy

Stem to stern, the butter cutter b-lines well

Tongues butterfly the unzipped feline shell

We'll be escorting vital organs of the precious kitten hearts

Into the privacy of separate pickle jars

Or mayonnaise or jelly pick a card

****, pick a part and scissor

Stomach, lung, intestine or liver

In a world of sanitizers and preservatives forever

Brain exterminated through the whiskers *kiss & blow*

Ditched, I blank NY alone

We usher in the salts that call the husk home

Might embalm and stiffen and rid the fawn of all his liquids

Slather it in beeswax, wrap it up in ribbons

Limb by limb, by tail by ear by chin

Within the hereafter I hereby win

I hope you vow to meow another day and never

Decompose, by the way before we seal these molds

The shorten version goes...

Take the brain out, keep the heart in

Take the brain out, keep the heart in

Paper plate rounds, peak your harvest

Take the brain out...

Gadzooks, punk's dead, last good gut wrenched

Antennae sam cook, black book pushead

Cat skulls stacked to the black hole sunset

Olive on a toothpick, Dagwood Bumstead

Tagged-hoof hatchery, matter amass naturally

Bad wolf, dash for the last rook castling

Blue ox, red plaid bass pro flannel king

Hasbro crown, sour apple Abba-Zabba teeth

In poorly taken pictures antiquating on his mantlepiece

Before we only spoke in letters cut from magazines

Folk broke bear claws over gross coffee

Not as milquestoast men, as los muertos walking

Ergo the scarecrow in rare barley

Squared-off harpy to armchair: say a prayer for me

I feel that mystifying times have gotten ugly

I also feel that you could learn a lot from a mummy
