Serial Killer a Limerick

There once was a serial killer His life was one sickening thriller From the bodies he’d saves And the ones in the graves His life was one bloody chiller Tho his mental state wasn’t quite normal And his social skills never that formal He loved people to pieces Even after life ceases With dead bodies he does like to dabble Now that sounds rather creepy you say That killing is how one spends his day While it’s not quite a profession More like an obsession In the end they’ll come take him away

Authors note: This was done as an exercise, we were given certain words (a wordle ) and it was the writers choice what form to put them in and how to use them.

Having watched so many episodes of "Criminal Minds," I see the truth as well as the humor in this limerick. It does seem rather ghastly, but some of the serial killers spend time with their victims after they're dead. Very interesting limerick -- unique and insightful! Love, Carolyn
