Now, this is a Story all about how
My death got me sent from upside to down

and
I'd like to take a minute to Tell just How I almost became the Prince of Despair!

In West Philadelphia, born and died,
To the Acheron
where I spent my coin
Crossin’ to Erebus, relaxin' like a ghoul--
Actually like a shade shading inside the waiting room

When three judgey judges judging who did no good
Started on the tough cases and Asiatics from my neighborhood
I got a little fright until King Minos said,

'You're movin' towards Elysium Fields in Persephone’s Lair’

I begged and pleaded to return to the top, where I'd been happy and gay

But he sent me past the Fates, Furies, and Hecate

Fates

Furies

Hecatayyyy

On the River Styx I swore an oath I’d picket

My case in front Hades and Persephone

'I might as well visit.…’

I then notice death’s one-way, long way to go-- yo this is bad

Eating pomegranate out of an ancient glass?

Is this what dining in Hades Xenia be like?

Hmmmmm, Tartarus is not alright.

All I can hear are tortured screams and see Phlegethon’s fiery splat
