"Last Supper" by Westward Ho

            (As the NARRATOR speaks, FIGURES act out the story---the two women, the
            grim goblin, and the ghostly death-ship.)

NARRATOR
The sign called out, “Eats,”
So in walked Inez and Julie
And Death was their waiter.
            No, not Ptomaine,
            Nor Trichinosis---
            Just grisly old Death,
His grin fifty cubits wide by thirty cubits high,
The perfect ark for transporting souls to Hell.

            (Brimstone.)

            THE END
