My neighbour isn’t dead yet,
Despite protests to the contrary.
Must be a zombie smoking, then,
Out lounging on her balcony.
.
‘Not long for this world!’ she moans,
Too ill to work or clean.
Yet finds the strength to roll-her-own,
Her busy husband’s never seen.
.
To his remonstrations cries,
‘Doc told me not to quit!
The shock would kill me!’ His reply?
‘Well just get on with it.’
