A cryptic crossword lover,
who lived on a farm outside Tubber,
decided to commit suicide.
He'd do like no other.
Every morning , at the breakfast table,
he'd sing one verse ,to his puzzled wife Mabel.
" I walked away from the hanging tree, and my own true love....
" On the banks of the river, stood Running Bear.......
" Hang down your head Tom Dooley, hang down......
As his mental state became evermore deranged,
his verses too, became more strange.
One week before his planned final exit,
a note on his porridge he found, she texted.
" I've taken the Costa Brava Plane, a Viva Espanya "
get your own ******* breakfast. mate ,
" A Viva Espanya, a Viva Espanya "
" Don't wait up. I'll be late. a Viva Espanya "
