Hammerhead or cyanide
Shower stall electrified
Hantavirus multiplied
Nasty ways that people have died
Launched off speeding midway ride
Into building’s pointy side
Very slowly liquefied
Nasty ways that people have died
Big Gulp cup of pesticide
Chomped by gator till they cried
Said wrong thing to Barrow, Clyde
Nasty ways that people have died
Chewed on by a lion pride
Till they body was inside
Biggest bit two inches wide
Nasty ways that people have died
Naked trip down rusty slide
Couldn’t poo-poo though they tried
Went for outback dingo ride
Nasty ways that people have died
Tripped in wet cement that dried
Found out licensed surgeon lied
Starting gun to ear applied
Nasty ways that people have died
Failed from rutting bull to hide
Sank in swamp and petrified
Premature formaldehyde
Nasty ways that people have died
Blindfolded and train-track-tied
Sword up butt and opened wide
Victim of rhinocicide
Nasty ways that people have died
RPG and head collide
Scrotum bit by drunken bride
Care by HMO denied
Nasty ways that people have died
Picked a psycho to deride
Ripcord left to chute untied
Too much niacinamide
Nasty ways that people have died
Hole in tent and tsetse-flied
Broken bungee, out with tide
Face to Cessna prop applied
Nasty ways that people have died
Left behind by jungle guide
Near where cannibals reside
Baked with apples, minced and pied
Nasty ways that people have died
Penis by candiru spied
Tripped and on the third rail fried
Lye mistook for Astroglide
Nasty ways that people have died
