Of Corpses And Maggots

The living are just as good as the dead.
The only difference is that the latter have nothing to dread.
The living I hate--I hate with a passion.
They've yet to see that corpses are highly in fashion,
But I'm the exception, I've figured it all out.
A cadaver is my only attraction, when in doubt.

I was told that my attraction was morbid
They suggested that it should be gotten rid.

Now, I still much prefer the dead over the live.
After all, they'd never cheat, steal or lie.
Looking at this the same way that I do.
Don't you agree that what I say has some truth?

Corpses do have a sorta special attraction.
They cause in me an equally special reaction.
The smell of their decomposing flesh
Is something that I'll always relish.
Their skin so cold, their face so pale
Makes them seem so extremely frail,
But I'm always careful and I'm always gentle
Because I'd never want to hurt them on accidental.
