five brothers sitting in front of the fire
waiting for one of the weak to retire
an old crocheted pillow held over a face
one brother disappears without a tracefour brothers sitting all neat in a row
listening to their favorite radio show
one eats some fruit from the family tree
at next morning's breakfast
there only are threethe brothers grim
the youngest takes out his insulin
there's no need to notify the next of kin
cain slew abel as brothers will do
three brothers magically turn into twoaccidents happen so often at home
look at the forest of homemade headstones
but if a tree falls and it's all alone
is there a reason for one to atonethe brothers grim
mama died and left her boys all alone
to fight for the seat to the empty throne
an old bramble crown a seal of scrawl
a kingdom consisting of nothing at allat six o'clock rings the dinner bell
be it ever so humble there's no place like hell
blood is much thicker than water you know
that's why it pours so awfully slowthe brothers grim
