Are you down there, Henry?


If they bury you in this town,
be sure they dig you deep.
Cos the rabbits and the dogs will try
to interupt your sleep.
We're often in the graveyard
and we don't hang around
There's bunnies running everywhere
that should be underground.
We chase them fast as we both can
me and Haggis,my big bruvver
but under some ol' marble slab's
where they will find safe cover.
That's where the chase will have to end
we stand frustrated there
Head nose and ears are in the hole
and tails in the air
Our favourite grave is Henry Miles
Died 1923
There's two holes under that one
One for Haggis, one for me.
So Henry, sir, you lived so old,
now sleeping like a log,
unless you wake and wonder why
you're yelled at by a dog
Sleep on, old timer, pay no mind,
protect your rabbit's nest
Ignore the westies hunting 6 foot
up from your last rest.
