Who Did It

Something I came up with after making a joke at work

                                                                      WHO DID IT

Somebody turned of the mother in laws life support

Who could the culprit be

I hope I don't get questioned by the police

They might guess it's me

I need a real good alibi

One so water tight

I'll say I was abducted by aliens

Who came during the night

I snuck up to her hospital bed

With the machines I did tamper

Removed all the plugs

Then quickly away I did scamper

Alarms rang as she flatlined

Nurses ran about

The old bat has popped her clogs

A few of them did shout

They saw the flexes had all been cut

Plugs they all were missing

All they could do was stand helpless

I laughed so hard I started pissing

One tried chest compressions

A derfib from a wall was taken down

They put the paddles on her chest

As they opened up her gown

They tried to give her mouth to mouth

But alas it was all in vain

But deep down they knew a service had been done

By getting rid of such a pain

So who did this wicked deed

If I knew I wouldn't tell

But I was always told as a child

If a jobs worth doing it worth doing well

Overall, this is a great concept for a fun, sassy poem, plus you depicted this scene with clever details that make the humorous situation pop. Strong storytelling in verse. I felt it a teensy bit repetitive when you say -- "plugs removed" and a few lines later -- "plugs missing" . . . but your details are fresh & inventive, for the most part. I love the scene depicting them trying to revive her while narrator pisses himself. This is pure enjoyable hilarity! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I'm wondering if this could be used against you in a court of law

Mother-in-laws seem made for humor. Of course, I hear they meet secretly and talk about son-in-laws, telling the nastiest jokes. You know she'll haunt you forever, for this one and all the others, though funny as hell (pardon the pun). :)

Expecting her to haunt me when she dies...only hope it's soon. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting

Nice to read from you again....plz pleez do review/ comment/ write your thoughts under my newest poem too titled, ' sing a song of Taj Mahal.

[George David Hope]

Glad you enjoyed it. Oh I wish it were true I'd gladly flick the switch to stop the power to get rid of my mother in law...maybe one day

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hahhh, why?? Are yer mom in laws that bad lol? Or you r further kidding and bantering merely. 😸😜

[George David Hope]

She really is that bad...I have done two other poems about her...one of them is sitting in the crematorium waiting for her to be burnt and the other is about pushing her and her daughter off our local cliffs......I sound like a psychopath don't I?

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Gahhh you are intriguing me now. So you want to push your wife off as well!! But if the imagination makes you turn such fantastic poems then let it be. I tell you your poem really entertained me and I re read it many times coz it's so clever and gets me cracking. But r u a bad mean person?
