In London zoo a lion escaped
They forgot to lock his cage
It disappeared into the night
Hungry, filled with rage

Poor old Brian had lost his job
His life had hit the skids
His wife moved in with his mate
She also took his kids

He hit the bottle pretty hard
He started to get ill
His grandma died, he got the call
Turns out she had a will

She had millions in the bank
And she left it all to Brian
But on his way to cash the cheque
He was eaten by a lion.....

"Write something funny",
She said with a roll
Of her perfect eyes
As if all this was
Not already
A joke

Do you remember
the time
when you wrote
me a letter?
I'm still keeping it inside
a box
full of our memories.
