Soon the ants will eat your eyes
Birds and snakes will feast on thighs
Dogs and cats will chew your tongue
A sickened skunk will puke your lung
Writhing maggots eat your face
You will be gone: without a trace

Here is the Final Shitkicker Jeopardy answer!

A. The subject matter of this type of poetry concerns Columbus pissbums
and the diets of wildlife.

Correct! NancyGene, you are our new champion!

"And the worms crawl out, the worms crawl in

read the comments section, it's worth it

from The Monk by Matthew Lewis
"O God! what a sight met Fair Imogine’s eyes!
What words can express her dismay and surprise,
When a skeleton’s head was exposed!
All present then uttered a terrified shout,
All turned with disgust from the scene;
The worms they crept in, and the worms they crept out,
And sported his eyes and his temples about,"
--'Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogine'
-- by Matthew Gregory Lewis (“Monk Lewis”)

We have it on good authority that Ash sings "The Hearse Song" to his ladies on first dates. Is there a second date?

Yes, a second and a third, 'cause there's many versions of the song!
"Your brain turns into maggot pie
Your liver starts to liquify
And for the living, all is well
As you sink further into hell
And the flames rise up to drag you down
Into the fire, where you will drown
Your skin melts off as you descend
And Satan tears you limb from limb
Your suffering will never end"
--'The Hearse Song" by Rusty Cage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xclh_676KwE

And of course my fav worm reference:
"But see, amid the mimic rout,
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes!—it writhes!—with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued."
--'Conqueror Worm' ~~Edgar Allan Poe

The Russian band Nimphaion made an album Quoth the Raven
(it's harsh- Melodic Death Metal/Symphonic Black Metal- so I wouldn't suggest listening to it)
1. Welcome to the House of Usher
2. The Conqueror Worm
3. Lenore
4. Valley of Unrest
5. Raven
6. The Sleeper
7. Spirits of the Dead
8. Annabel Lee
9. A Dream Within a Dream

Album notes:
In the memory of E.A. Poe.

Covered by the veil of the web and the true Gothic atmosphere of the 19th century, the music of the band is written here entirely on the original verses of the great American poet Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), a vivid representative of decadent romanticism in literature. The atmosphere of darkness, despair, lost love and the beauty of desolation is perfectly transferred to "Quoth the Raven", which truly turned out to be a real requiem for the poet.. The band approached to reproduction of deeply spiritual Poe's ideas with a maximum of composer and vocal scrupulousness, so this musical piece should come to the taste of connoisseurs of beautiful melodic black metal and lovers of dark poetry.

And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.

"And these are the days
We borrow in place
What martyrs cloak
You have draped across these city walls
And wear the mask
The passing of time
We all fall to dust
And echo finally one last time"
--'Death Holy Death' ~~Primordial
