Black Widow

Black Widow

 

I grew up a poor child

And my mother always told me

Find someone with money

Whom to marry

Divorce his butt

And demand your half

On our yacht to Puerto Rico

We’ll have a good laugh

My mother was smart

And her idea would keep us fed

But I thought wouldn’t it work better

If my husband was dead

I took my looks very serious

And I married quite well

My husband couldn’t have known

That he just entered hell

You see, I killed my first husband

With his very own gun

I told the judge he was abusive

And my court case was won

I inherited one million dollars

And a house on the lake

My dinners now consist

Of lobster, truffles, and steak

My second husband

Was the judge from my case

He said he fell in love with me

When he first saw my face

He was a really big fish

With plenty of dough

What I had in store for him

It was too late to know

Don’t get me wrong

He was a nice guy

But watching a life end

Is like getting high

He spent one night drinking

And by a window passed out

I put a noose around his neck

And then pushed him out

Three million dollars more

And another big house

I’m now on the lookout

For my next spouse

The cops cannot catch me

I am too smart

My venom is powerful

I will take your heart

A real black widow! This made me laugh.
You even give the reason she becomes this
way and the benefits. And she has a lot
of confidence in her skills. Great poem,
great story!

Love this!

friggin' awsome poem... made me laugh... but then again i have a sick sense of humor. lmao

[Bullet Soul]

Hahaha, I may sound like a psychopath, but I actually laughed when I read this. Something about this story you wrote in this poem just seemed quite hilarious to me. I really enjoyed your poem, it tells both a humerus and entertaining story, and I think that that's a great quality in a poem. It's always great to read a poem that truly entertains you, as this one did.

Wow this reminds me of the adams family! they lady person who couldnt kill the dude yeah... well this is AWESOME!

[PasDeChat]

This is funny and a bit frightening at the same time. They are called black widows for a reason and you caught the essence, even linking it to childhood and the mothers advice to marry well. Greed and no regard for the human life is a scarry thing. Thanks for sharing and keep writing!

[Hanan_Maliah]

Very well written...I have read many a tale of the widow and this impressed me...the flow and material kept pace and the color scheme dealt the final blow...I see serious talent and like to comment as such...don't stop!

[Nautili]

Very entertaining. Yet knowing that there have been black widows in history is disturbing and chilling. And even though it may not result in a murder literally, when women marry for ulterior motives, it is a killing of trust and love. Like the black and red through out.

[Signet]

I loevd the poem. It was funny and somewhat eerie. I liked the end... Specially the last two lines...
"My venom is to powerful

I will take your heart"
