Dead Ringer!

Dead Ringer!

Cremated?
Dead and
Buried?
Alive and well,
Not my time,
Put a bell
Around my
Wrist,
If it sounds
Get me out quick!
I'm not dead
Just yet,
You shouldn't
Have wept,
In this coffin
Can you hear
That sound?
Ring, ring...
Ring, ring...
Get me out
I'm not
Heaven bound
In this church
Ready for flames
I wasn't black cinders
I was but, a dead ringer!

Ring...
Ring...
