Ode to Kayce Dec'd.

This poem mirrors Emmeline Grangerford’s poem from Huckleberry Finn, “Ode to Stephen Dowling Bots”. It’s a school assignment where we had to take a student and make a parody of Emmeline’s poem. Enjoy!

It was on a tragic night

As fateful as can be.

It was cuz' of foolish spite

And one small bumblebee.

Young Colin he did trip and fall

While Kayce stood by taunting.

She laughed at him while he did bawl.

Unaware that Karma's knocking.

One bumblebee buzzed 'round Kayce

And landed on her shoulder.

Oh, Kayce, why'd you laugh at he?

Cuz' now you won't get older.

The little bee flew up her nose

And crawled right down her throat.

She gasped for air, and cried, "Oh, no's!"

And tragically, she croaked.

Why, foolish little Kayce.

You could've passed this death.

The moral of this story?

It's better not to laugh.
