Mad House King

An excerpt from my short story; The Domino Effect

To dearest visitors;

Read if you may

 

 

 

In the house of jailbirds

The prisoners sing

Here, a game of role-plays are all part of the tricks;

One thinks he’s Humpty

The other thinks himself King

So which fool are you;

the Humpty or the King?

 

The curtains of freakshows are now drawn open,

So I bid you to play along

For the tricksters bring misfortune

to those who disobey their calling songs.

 

A glass of poison, a glass of wine

The Mad House keeps secrets that are meant to be found;

At every corner there are eyes,

and at every cranny there are ears.

“Drink!” says the King, whichever glass you please.

 

Beware of the warden, but pay no mind

The more you know, the less you’ll find

Do not trust April; the season of lies

Lost souls roam the cells, forever angry, eternally grieved.

 

DaNgeR! DangERoUs niGHt

The cannibals feast and no residents are missed

Tick tock; goes Humpty Dumpty; your time is ticking out,

In this kingdom of madness there is no escape but one only,

And that is through… iNsanItY.

Author's Note

And all the King's horse and all the King's men, couldn't put Humpty together again
