Written January 19th around 8:00 at night. I just had the urge to write a quick poem for my blog and the words 'the cadaver sang fiddle dee dee' popped into my head. I worked the rest around the image of a corpse hanging from a tree singing away. Different rhyming scheme than usual.

Ghost steps scampering in the wind's eerie lee 
A hung-man corpse swings from the tree
And the cadaver sings 'fiddle dee dee, fiddle dee dee'
I know what it's like to truly be free.

Breeze in the bones flutes a haunting tune
That echoes in the grass that spikes on the dune.
A lone wolf whimpers a plea to the Moon
To burp up the cat who stole his spoon.

And I can hear the midnight train
As it roars like a lion across the plain.
Leaving a smoke trail as thick as a mane.
A phantom lamentation, it must be in pain.

Black ants go marching three by three
Blanketing the warped oak tree.
And the cadaver sings 'fiddle dee dee, fiddle dee dee'
The ants at last have come to free me.
