A Bouquet for the Coffin
Plentiful and preposterous piles
Pennies and notes across miles.
One mindset turned so hostile
The mansion deserted for a while.
A drop of "spice" on his tongue
Misunderstood and spread among.
His last words were then sung
As the red tape was then strung.
Another man to leave a mess
Left unable to wear the dress.
Everything for her to possess
But forever trapped inside distress.
After her face lit like a cigar
The door was never caught ajar.
With a crazy, everlasting scar
She soon reached to her own star.
Based off of: 'A Rose for Emily'
