where are you going, little human why do you walk so slow? heaven is smiling above you and hell is smiling below why do you look so sad, little friend turn that frown upside down the clowns have been subpoenaed and the snake charmer run out of town you are going back to the old dark house to read grandmother’s will uncle john has become a penguin and cousin brenda can not sit still they buried the butler in the gazebo when he started seeing ghosts cousin buddha is sleeping in the basement uncle satan still loves you the most every day is another day the wallpaper has turned pink the silver could use a little polish don’t you think? the lawyers play blackjack with the upstairs maids the cousins and uncles are the stakes the paintings on the walls are authentic but the newspapers are all fakes
