He was a thief
And had stolen his last
He was found in an alley
Killed by his past
She often acted
On heart and whim
She had killed herself
Just to spite him
He held a knife
To the throat of a man
Who double crossed him
On some scheming plan
The mirror kept staring
He couldn't take it
After two weeks
He had to break it
He hung the man
From an old oak tree
He then left him there
To swing aimlessly
They had robbed him
He tracked them down
It became legend
In some tiny town
He gunned down a wiseguy
On some busy street
He's in the East Bay now
With shoes of concrete
She killed the man
Or so I've been told
Because he had hocked
Her ring made of gold
They found the body
In the trunk of its car
It was missing a piece
But the head wasn't far
He had been shot
In the back of the head
Thrown in a ditch
And left there for dead
She had buried him
In their own backyard
He had been cheating
And left her a card
He had been drowned
In the bathroom tub
Too much gallivanting
In the local pub
Stabbed over a card game
He bled to Death
Called his killer a cheater
With his dying breath
She divorced him
Because he was boring
Had bad breath
And a habit of snoring
He had shot the man
For taking his wife
And finished the job
With a dull kitchen knife
She was a model
Her boyfriend insane
He had disfigured her
Because she was vain

It's very interesting....
the title caught my attention, but when I saw how long it was I didn't feel like reading it, but I was unable to pull myself from it... and afterwards found myself hungering for more... very interesting poem... |
