About This Poem

Axe Murderers

Do you have any axe murderers in your family
No? How totally boring is that!
They add a little spice when telling your story
More interesting than your household cat

How about a bigamist or a felon of some note
That would be a total blast!
But before you climb up on your mighty high horse
Better thoroughly check out your past

Just having a little fun so don't send me letters
When reviewing this sweet little gem
Every once in a while I go off on these tangents
Soon be back on the track once again

Do you have any axe murderers in your family
If you have to answer yes to the above
I solemnly promise to keep it our little secret
And end with good wishes and love

    Thats strange I know I commented on this poem yesterday. Did it not reach you??? I said I didn't have any Axe murderes in the family but I have been stabbed in the back a few times. Another fun one Jack, keep them coming.

    Jack, I have a garden and a very tall broad-shouldered son. He was chopping/splitting wood for me (I was helping in my usual supervisory role) when the axe handle snapped! So I guess we have axe merderer in the O'Leary family ... Terry (Funny poem, as long as I don't take it personally)
