Ed, Ned and Dead

Ed, Ned and Dead were brothers 

Who lived outside of town.

Ed was cheery, 

Ned was leery, 

And Dead just laid around.

Ed, Ned and Dead live in their house

Where they worked until they dropped.

Ed cooked,

Ned cleaned,

And Dead just slept a  lot.

Ed, Ned, and Dead met a girl named Liza.

She had beautiful eyes and hair.

Ed adored her, 

Ned ignored her, 

And Dead didn't really care.

Ed and Liza prepared for the day

On which they would be wed.

Ed was elated, 

Ned was irritated, 

And Dead was...well, you figure it out.
