By Aurin Squire
In "Decameron" the simple country fool falls into a shit hole
Ahhh, that's life for sure. Thrashing and screaming "Ayudame!!!"
Stripped naked, homeless and all his money stole
Running through the night streets, broken in one day
Came upon 2 thieves robbing a bishop's tomb, cleverly crafting
They convinced him to climb in with Christ Dead for profit
Fool tossed out the gems and they ran away laughing.
That's life: screaming from a stone grave, covered in shit.
Three jittery n' jinxed thieves came and unsealed the tomb
The naked, slimed fool lay waiting in the dark
He dug his teeth into the thief's foot, making a nasty wound
And 3 thieves ran screaming from the bishop's raided ark.
Out of came our laughing fool with the bishop's ruby ring shining bright
This is life: singing, running naked, filthy/rich into the night.
