Jill was in favour Of euthanasia But heck! It nearly killed her To put down Hilda And Becks – Friends whose behaviour Showed faults of Nature. Jill’s next! Oh like hell you will I’m not sick, said Jill Enough! I’ll swallow no pill Against my own will - Hand-cuffed, Prepared for the kill, When I am not ill. Get stuffed! But no! they all cried It’s we who decide What’s cool. The mole on your side Acts much as a guide. No bull! We say it with pride There’ll be no cockeyed Gene pool. |
