Crime of Passion

a fun rhyme

So you've got a problem,
A plan that went wrong,
There's no time to waste,
Or celebrate with song-

It's two hundred pounds,
Lying limp on the floor,
In a moment of passion,
You settled the score-

You're asking yourself,
What to do now?
With blood on your hands,
And your heart that pounds-

Don't dread just yet,
Just pull up those sleeves,
Drag the dead weight,
Ignore gore on your knees-

You've got some options,
My miscalculated friend,
You can choose a dark path,
Or you can turn yourself in-

But i can tell by that look,
Of wildness in your eyes,
That you'll make a grand story,
A mouthful of lies-

Before stringing a web,
There's a job to get done,
Stay positive and open,
This could be really fun-

If you want to savor this,
Here's a note from Dr. Lecter,
Serve the meat with dry wine,
Be light on salt and pepper-

If you're jovial with dress up,
Take advice from Eddie Gein,
Tan the skin to perfection,
And double stitch the seams-

There's many famous people,
You can take examples from,
Or you can be creative,
My homicidal chum-

Pick up your trusty spade,
Or a mixed jug of bleach,
I'll guide you through the motions,
While you listen to me preach-

Whatever you decide to do,
Make sure to stick to this,
Next time you feel enraged,
Talk to a psychiatrist.

Author's Note

This was really fun to write out. I sort of wish I could draw it into an adult comic.

It was a fun read especially considering the subject matter. Hannibal would savor this.

the dark that resides inside... some it only takes a moment, others are a slow, calculating simmer... is it "the quiet ones you gotta watch"? or is it the quiet that awaits in you? great write and nice flow.
