Ruptured Spline


Your father was the town doctor
he always did a goodjob,
he took care of everybody,
that had something wrong.

One day you went to school
you weren't feeling very well,
you were found
in the girl's washroom,
lying on the floor.

Your father was helpless
there wasn't a hospital in town,
you had passed away
in your father's arms,
from a ruptured spline.

Some people said
it was some sort of
kissing disease,
I was too young
to understand,
I didn't believe them
it wasn't true,
all I know is
my childhood friend
was gone.
