A Very Unfortunate ThingA Poem by dancerella10An Ironic PoemA very unfortunate thing has taken place this very evening. My husband came home sick of ale and now he will be dead as a doornail. I know not just how it happened; it did not go quite how I’d imagined. He was supposed to eat the cake with poison like that of a snake. But instead he simply passed out! And I couldn’t wake him with even a shout. So I decided to improvise. What did I have by way of supplies? A knife to cut him apart? A gun to blow through his heart? A noose to hang his neck? Surely, they’d leave the house a wreck. What of a pillow?"of course! just smother him with those feathers! Oh! How I am just so clever! So smother him I did, and in moments he was dead. I sat down to celebrate. I sang and drank and ate. What a delicious piece of cake! And then I had realized my mistake. © 2014 dancerella10 |
