A bad case of the flue.

Well perhaps I could stir the coals a bit by mentioning this fellow was apparently a draft avoider.

Since this is the fourth iteration of this story, at least, don’t be surprised if we’re not fired up.

Chet’s nuts roasting on an open fire...
Bright flames licking at his toes...
Not Santa Claus, so why the desire..
Still partway down the chimney he goes...

Some poor guy trying to keep warm
Or have ambiance dressed for success
Had any plans of seduction foiled
And his house rendered a smoky mess...

So if you are one of larcenous intent
From the age of nine to ninety two
Before you lower your butt into the vent
Make sure you will fit through the flue...

Soot! I just heard about it today on the local news and had some funny one liners swing through my sick mind.

Oh well...

His own fault. Not a tear of sympathy from me.

Luv your answer to what killed him, “a bad case of the flue”.

How about “Smoking”? “Weighing too much”? “Too much clothing”? “Greed”? “Stupidity” ?

Favorite songs and movies for burglars:

“Up in Smoke”

“Hot times in the old town tonight”
“Smoke gets in your eyes”
“Meeting in smoky places”
“Hot, Hot, Hot”!

You Want Fries With That?
