Who Killed Good Sense?

Who Killed Good Sense?

Here lies Good Sense,

Dead and cold;

This book his end

Who Killed Good Sense?

I said the Civilian

When I followed the Conning Composer

I killed Good Sense

Who saw him die?

I said the racist

With my blind hatred

I saw him die

Who caught his blood?

I said the Newsman

In my camera lens

I caught his blood

Who’ll make the Shroud?

I said the Editor

With my newspaper

I’ll make the shroud

Who’ll dig his grave?

I said the Columnist

With my lunatic ravings

I’ll dig his grave

Who’ll be the Parson?

I said the Magistrate

I set the Druggies free

I’ll be the Parson

Who’ll be the Clerk?

I said the Hustler

If there’s a raise

I’ll be the clerk

Who’ll carry the Light?

I said the comic

This is farcical tragic

I’ll carry the Light

Who’ll be Chief Mourner?

I said the Pragmatist

I will miss Good Sense

I’ll be Chief Mourner

Who’ll carry the Coffin?

I said the Parliamentarian

With my duty free ride

I’ll carry the coffin

Who’ll bear the pall?

I said the Child

Your mistakes are my burdens

I’ll carry the pall

Who’ll sing the psalm?

I said Mozart

I can carry a tune

I’ll sing the psalm

Who’ll toll the bell?

I said the Snoozer

On Facebook I can

I’ll toll the bell

All the citizens of the land

fell a-sighing and a-sobbing,

when they heard the bell toll

for poor Good Sense.
