Burying the Hatchet
Where better to bury the murder weapons
than under the bodies
in their graves.
No one will know
and there’ll be no hard feelings then.
So that will be my strategy
to bury hatchets under buried bodies
so that all quarreling will cease
and everyone will live happily ever after,
everyone still living, then.
