Waking Up in the Morgue

The attendant got the shock of his life.

Waking Up in the Morgue

 

By Elton Camp

 

Here’s more evidence of the conviction

That truth may be stranger than fiction

When a man suffered an asthma attack

Of signs of life there was a total lack

 

In the morgue’s cooler he was put away

And there he remained for an entire day

Until the attendant heard a voice call out

“Help!  What the heck is this all about?”

 

And when the local paramedics did arrive,

They found the man indignant and alive

It’s a good thing he awoke in the refrigerator

Not when being cremated in the incinerator
