John Boat

So they found your brother¡¯s john boat
And they filled it up with fish
And your brother didn¡¯t find it for a week
And you said that you could smell it
From a hundred yards away
And that you helped him dump it in the creek
So you came upon a raven
And you thought that it was dead
But it was moving so you poked it with a stick
And you found that there were maggots
Crawling underneath the skin
And thinking of it always makes you sick
That¡¯s the biggest bug I¡¯ve ever seen
And Jesus, here it comes this way
I can feel it crawling over me today
