It was a mistake any wizard could make
Who was tired and caught on the hop
One piffling error, and then, to my terror,
I found myself facing the chop.
Alas for the eve when I met Lady Grieve
A-strolling the park in the dusk!
She was of the belief I could straighten her teeth
Next moment she'd sprouted a tusk.
I cried through the night that I'd soon put her right
But the process of justice was lax;
They'd brought out the block, though they'd mislaid the rock
Where they usually sharpened the axe.
Next morning at dawn, with a face most forlorn,
The priest said to try not to cry,
"You can come just like that, no, you won't need a hat,"
And I knew that my end must be nigh.
The man in the mask who would have the sad task
Of cleaving my head from my neck,
Said "Nick, if you please, will you get to your knees,"
And I turned to a gibbering wreck.
"This may sting a bit" said the cack-handed twit
As he swung the axe up in the air,
But oh the blunt blade! No difference it made,
My head was still definitely there.
The axeman he hacked and he whacked and he thwacked,
"Won't be too long", he assured me,
But quick it was not, and the bone-headed clot
Took forty-five goes 'til he floored me.
And so I was dead, but my faithful old head
It never saw fit to desert me,
It still lingers on, that's the end of my song,
And now, please applaud, or you'll hurt me.

Haha Very Nice Man, But The Thing I Dont Get Is The Many Times Headless Shows People How His Head Dosnt Come Off, Well It Should Eventually

i like it !!

awww i like nearly headless nick !! bless him

yeah i agree why dont it come off when he messes with it so much mmmm :s

Why doesn't it come off ? He is a ghost remember ? He is extraordinary...extraordinary than the wizards!

ghosts aren't reely extraordinary....dey are just people who are scared of death...right?
..but still nick is quite likeable....though he is a trifle scared of the bloody baron!!!

everyone is scared of the bloody baron, i think i would be too if i was a ghost at hogwarts

On the whole, Nick is far better than half the living wizards (read: Draco, he-who-must-not-be-named but I'll still name him-Voldemort, etc.)
