Chop locally
He was supposed to be dead
That's naturally assumed
When you can't find the head
.
He was supposed to be buried
Entombed and inhumed
His rot, in situ, unhurried
.
He was supposed to be food for worms
At terra verma, six feet consumed
But murder, they crowed, duly confirms
.
He was supposed to be interred in the earth
But was dug up, brought to the mall's food emporium
For Black Friday, offered for less than he's worth
.
Support local stiffness — chop locally

Hahahhahahahahhahahaha omggggg I loved this so much! Also, only recently I found out that Earth is known as Terra. We refer to living things on Earth as Earthlings. So when talking about Terra, do we refer to ourselves as Terrarists? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
