Horatio Blood, Gravedigger for Hire

Sam Cowan, Class of 2023

Horatio Blood, 

gravedigger for hire. 

Satisfaction ensured, 

Be it muck, mud, or mire. Here, take a card! 

Do remember the name! I do excavations, 

And whatever remains. Outgoing, incoming, 

My cargoes abound: 

Both imports and exports, All sourced from the ground. My discretion is known If you need a quick job. But I charge for my labor, I’m no dirt-slinging slob. My backers are maggots, My competitors, crows. My frontmen are doctors And murderous blows. I’ll haul up your treasure, Or bury it deep, 

If you pay me in full, 

I’ll put one to sleep. 

It’s not strictly legal, 

It’s not strictly right, 

But service provided, 

Is guaranteed overnight. When holes need a digging, I’ll gladly conspire. 

That’s Horatio Blood, Gravedigger for hire.
