Keep All Hands and Feet Inside the Vehicle. A Story In Eight Limericks.

Summary:

How not to possess your own body.

Notes:

This started at spn-bitesized as a response to classysleuth's prompt, demon Sam's attempts to possess his reanimated body. I suspect the limericks came from listening to Good Ship Venus one too many times. Many, many thanks to fannishliss for betaing this and helping me wrestle with recalcitrant lines.
reena_jenkins did an amazing podfic that adds so much to the story; you can download it individually or as part of her The Intangible Residuum collection.
Feedback is love, and concrit is welcomed.

Work Text:

There once was a young man named Sammy
Whose body had gotten quite clammy
And when he awoke
His brother did choke
And Sammy did call him a pamby.

Sam was lacking an angel for healing
(Cas was gone, before God he was kneeling)
When you're down in the grave
There's no need to shave
But your body is not so appealing.

With his bones he could play at mancala
Or hit the notes: do re me fa so la,
So his body was sunk,
And quite frankly it stunk,
And dripped parts all over the 'Pala.

So torqued was Dean by his dumb brother
He glared 'cross the seat at the other
"Dear Sammy," he said,
"I'm glad you're not dead,
But fix this or you I will smother."

"Resurrection is practic'ly annual
But there's still not a handy Dead Manual,"
Sam's black eyes did flash,
He patted the dash,
"So fuck off, be nice, I'm King Samuel."

"Oh sorry your highness, forgive me,
There's no crown on your brow that I see,
So shut up you bitch,
Don't scratch if you itch,
And pray there's an answer from Bobby."

They drove through the hours with quiet,
And Sammy was stuck lest folk riot,
For his visage was grim,
He was missing a limb -
At least brains were not in his diet.

So how did they fix this disaster?
Not spells and some oil of castor.
With one perfect tear
That's followed by beer
And quite manly hugs chased with laughter.
