Douglas Turvey

Crashing on with my hilarious death pomes. Here is a cautionary tale. Not quite as long as one of Beloc’s but still.

Douglas Turvey liked to run
With scissors in his hand.
His mother didn’t like it
And told him he was banned.

If mother didn’t see him
There was nothing she could say.
So Douglas ran around the house
With scissors anyway.

But Douglas didn’t see the lace
Was loose on his left shoe.
Douglas tripped. The scissors snipped.
And cut the lad in two!

Truth be told, I often run with scissors. I consider it an extreme sport and have only died twice so far. A good unction is what you needs should the worst happen.
