How to make a homemade mummy: Get a corpse, get gauze, get comfy Shampoo and disinfect dead fluffy For the hallowed excavation of his x-marked tummy Stem to stern, the butter cutter b-lines well Tongues butterfly the unzipped feline shell We'll be escorting vital organs of the precious kitten hearts Into the privacy of separate pickle jars Or mayonnaise or jelly pick a card Shit, pick a part and scissor Stomach, lung, intestine or liver In a world of sanitizers and preservatives forever Brain exterminated through the whiskers *kiss & blow* Ditched, I blank NY alone We usher in the salts that call the husk home Might embalm and stiffen and rid the fawn of all his liquids Slather it in beeswax, wrap it up in ribbons Limb by limb, by tail by ear by chin Within the hereafter I hereby win I hope you vow to meow another day and never Decompose, by the way before we seal these molds The shorten version goes... Take the brain out, keep the heart in Take the brain out, keep the heart in Paper plate rounds, peak your harvest Take the brain out...
