Everything in Hell

Feedback Received!

I bought a fresh haddock carcass from the east of Merthyr Town
By the time I took it home it had already turned brown
I assumed it was just part of the natural process
Since there were no instructions on the back of the packaging
So I threw it in the back of the oven and put it on at around 150 degrees Celsius
And waited around twenty five minutes and completed a cryptic crossword
And I carefully took it out of the oven and the thing stunk rancid
But I assumed since it was dead it was bound to smell bad anyway
As I say there were no instructions on the back of the packaging
So if I do fall ill at least I can fall back on my medical insurance and claim compensation
So I took a bite and a bite was all it took
In fact the fatal mistake I made was the mistake of swallowing it
And that night my stomach punished my stupidity
And gave me incurable dysentery

And I woke up to the sound of the devil's glare
My crime apparently was uprooting a daffodil in my youth
Apparently that goes against 'thou shalt not kill' (who knew)
I wandered around for a while and honestly with Hell the clue is in the name
And everywhere I looked everything seemed to be the same
Everything I looked at seemed to be the same
And why? Because...

Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
(it's as uncreative as this poem)
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
(it feels like I've been kneed in the groin)
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
(fetch a butterfly net and a raw sirloin)
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
(look who it is it's George Gascoigne)
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
Everything in Hell looks like Ernest Borgnine
And Margaret Thatcher
