Marc O'Brien Poet Ode

An Ode To A Murderous Affair With The Refrain

Snow came down hard 
Harassing the roadside bar 
Taking one more shot 
Reminding himself, 'he was hot'
John proceeded to the lavatory 
Without any worry 
Mirror, he did reflect 
No fear of the word 'reject' 
Be aware 
If you dare 
Of the murderous affair 
Advice I share 
Ventured into the night 
Seeking a romantic sight 
Reality stated hurtful fight 
"Goodbye, my dear knight 
Our relationship is dead," 
Wearing the pearls he bought, she said 
Be aware 
If you dare 
Of the murderous affair 
Advice I share
Returning to the watering hole 
Shivering and cold 
Shocking we were told 
Seductress commanded the stage 
Half anyone's age 
Protected inside a cage 
Belting out a tune 
Loving warmth came back soon 
After being swooned 
Patrons did say 
Heating bill, owner electronically paid 
Be aware 
If you dare 
Of the murderous affair 
Advice I share 
When the tempting tease was done 
She approached the admirer, looking for fun 
As for the haunting past outside 
Confirming someone had lied 
And died 
"Those pearls fit you right" 
Stranger mentioned, eyes bright 
"They are a little tight," 
Informed the songbird, preparing for a deathly fight 
Confirming fan, a nut 
She kicked them in the butt 
Finding a cell 
Lonely, I must tell 
Be aware 
If you dare 
Of a murderous affair 
Advice I share
