A PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES
Written By a student at King’s College Hospital
IN the hospital bed she lay,
Rotting away !
Cursing by night and cursing by day,
Rotting away !
The lupus is over her face and head,
Filthy and foul and horrid and dread,
And her shrieks they would almost wake the dead ;
Rotting away !
In her horrible grave she lay,
Rotting away !
Rotting by night, and rotting by day,
Rotting away !
In the place of her face is a gory hole,
And the worms are gnawing the tissues foul,
And the devil is gloating over her soul,
Rotting away !
