Haunted Cemetery


The other woman I was not the other worldly one I was 
with sexy strut she came she did this is what I ghastly did 
with a ghoulish voice I spooked and thwarted no applause 
no I never did forget the hurt she caused, he caused...


A solitary candle glowed on my gravestone mod it glowed 
a putrid smell of stinking corpse arrived when I arrived 
like a hunk of foul skunk hidden  in an old commode
I sent her goosebumps and a lump of hate archived   

Smoke filled the air a tomcat appeared at her heels 
with claws, fangs and two angry eyes ready to fight 
yanking at her flaxen hair I prepared for a tart meal 
as she screamed and screamed, wildly into the night.

The other man he was not the love of my life he was 
wearing faded jeans and a Nike T, he goaded me 
Slimy slithery things crawled up towards him with a cause,  
he never knew what hit him as he burned to the 3rd degree!
