King of Romance
THE OUTSIDER known as Gerald
CARRIE'd a crush on miss CHRISTINE
But INSOMNIA was hard on THE BODY
He was THINNER than most had seen!
So THE STAND, he decided to make
Was tell the DOCTOR, "SLEEP is so rare,"
"IT is a MISERY hard to take,"
"CUJO help me with my despair?"
The doctor felt his DESPERATION
He had seen no THINNER man
Then, THE SHINING epiphany
Would become his REVIVAL plan
He said, "Return at FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT"
"For our contest called, THE GREEN MILE"
"With the ELEVATION of foliage,"
"THE LONG WALK, and run will take a while!"
Though once he was known as a BAG OF BONES,
On a SKELETON CREW with no plan
Christine now says, "This is GERALDS GAME, "
"And I simply adore, THE RUNNING MAN!"
