A German woman quickly threatened legal action when
She visited her churchyard with some lovely flowers and then
Discovered that her aunt-in-law was buried in the plot
Of ground she’d paid her money for – her specially chosen spot.
Aunt Johanna lay so peacefully in her little piece of land
“She’s taken what was really mine ! She’s ruined all my plans.
“You must dig up Aunt Johanna who is resting in my grave –
“It’s awful what they’ve done to me – it’s no way to behave.”
There’s a moral to this story, if you want to rest in peace,
Just choose your own nice plot of land, don’t steal it from your niece.
But if you do this dreadful deed, your sins will find you out
You’ll get no peace in heaven above, there surely is no doubt.
