Who knows…but this humorous little oddity (like “Fear”) just popped into my head one day—pardon the pun!—and I do like to occasionally pen the macabre!
Also reminds me of that comedic sketch where you drop something…bend down to pick it up…and keep kicking it away….
Enjoy my sickness!

The Ballad of fReD BeAn
© F. P. Dorchak, 1988
Fred Bean rolled over in his bed
The only problem with that
Being
Fred Bean’s body stopped, ‘cept his head
It rolled ’til stopped
By the intersection
Of
The wall and the floor
Some five feet away, by the door
Police said it really hadn’t been all that messy.
