Pore Pete is Daid (not for the weak in heart)

Curly:Pore Pete is daid, Pore Pete is daid,
All gather 'round the disposal now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn't very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?
Pore Pete is daid
Pore Pete is daid,
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene

Jud: And serene!

Curly:He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean!


(Spoken)Then the preacher'd get up and he'd say:
(Chanting)Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan over our brother Pete, who drowned in clean water
(Spoken)Then there'd be weepin' and wailin'... from some of those women. Then he'd say:
(Chanting)Pete was the most misunderstood man in this here territory. People used to think he was a mean ugly feller and they called
him a dirty skunk and an ornery pig stealer
(Sung)But the folks that really knowed him.

(Chant) Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore

(Sung)There beat a heart as big as all outdoors

Jud:As big as all outdoors.
Curly:Pete loved his feller man
Jud:He loved hes feller man

Curly (Spoken):He loved the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.
He loved the mice and the vermin in the barns, and he treated
the rats like equals, which was right. And he loved little children. He loved everybody and everything in the whole world!
Only he never let on, so nobody ever knowed it.
(Sung)Pore Pete is Daid
Pore Pete is daid
His friends'll weep and wail for miles around
Jud: Miles Around!

Curly:The daisies in the dell will give out a different smell
Because Pore Pete is in the garbage disposal.

Jud:Pore Pete is daid
A Candle lights his haid
He's layin' in garbage disposal

Curly: disposal...

Jud:And folks are feelin' sad
Cause they useter treat him bad
But now they know their friend is gone for good

Curly: Good..

Both: Pore Pete is Daid a candle lights his haid!

Curly:He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep, It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're running out of ice.

Both: Pore Pete, Pore Pete.

So yes, it is true..."Pete is Daid!!" This morning Brad woke me up and then a couple minutes later I heard the garbage disposal and I thought what is he doing. It 5:30!!! Then I walked into the living room and Brad told me Pete was dead!! Apparently when Brad changed his water last night he didn't put some of the old water back in so he died!! I just want the record to say I didn't do it this time!!

Oh yeah, and IN the garbage disposal was what was left of PETE!!! Who puts a fish in the garbage disposal!! You FLUSH them, you know watery grave, and all!! Seriously, what kind of person puts a fish down the disposal?? Who does that!?!

After we had this discussion Brad felt really bad and went and got another fish!!

So meet Pete 2 just don't tell Madison!!

SO FUNNY!!!! And I wouldn't let Brad around the kids if they get sick. And can I just say that a garbage disposal burial is a little brutal!

The garbage disposal?! That is so nasty I would have never thought of that. BTW the post is pure ingenious! Maybe because of this we should create a will for Brad that includes "burial by garbage disposal" But what a good dad, he went and got her a new fish! (Also I can't say I am surprised pete is dead, I always wondered about him)

EW! You are so right, WHO puts a fish in the garbage disposal? Traci's right, though. Good of him to get a new fish! and YAY that you weren't the one to kill him! You're braver than me, I killed so many as a kid that I don't dare get one now. 'Course, B hasn't actually asked for on yet, though. Good luck with Pete 2!
