(c)1996 by Matthew F. Ringel
ten little gothlings
all doing fine
one o.d.'d on clown white
and then there were nine
nine little gothlings
still feeling great
one got fashion victimized
and then there were eight
eight little gothlings
fallen from heaven
one got religion
and then there were seven
seven little gothlings
looking for a fix
one went on Prozac
and then there were six
six little gothlings
still mostly alive
one got way too high on life
and then there were five
five little gothlings
sprawled out on the floor
one embraced oblivion
and then there were four
four little gothlings
dark as can be
one dressed in paisley
and then there were three
three little gothlings
wondering what to do
one did the macarena
and then there were two
two little gothlings
daring to have fun
one started smiling
and then there was one
one little gothling
staring at the sun
something started smoldering
and then there were none
