Death on the level crossing
Not hit by a train
But crushed beneath the gate
Death by poisoning
Not rat killer or agent orange
Ate a lozenge past its sell-by date
Death by chocolate
Not the cocoa content or overeating
Slipped on a choc-ice at the match
And landed badly on some metal seating
Death by drowning
Not in the oceans mighty swell
But in the tears I wept
When you said farewell
