Suburban Warfare
It was a day like any other or so I thought
till I went outside and heard the noise
the cacophony made me cover my ears
the zombie apocalypse had started like I feared,
Up and down my street there was hysteria
people running away taking chaotic cover
not wanting to get bit by the neighborhood zombies
which included the postman, paper boy and even my auntie,
Running back inside my house I peeked out my windowpane
there was a perpetual line of zombies all over looking insane
their eyes were hollow and some ran while others moped
a curious one at a yard sale trying to eat a kaleidoscope,
Soon they disappeared and thinking the coast was clear
hearing the door bell ring I opened up to someone dear
my avon lady who looked unusually disheveled
lunging at me I hit her over the head with a convenient shovel,
Before I knew it I was fighting for my life
the last thing I wanted to be was the postman's zombie wife
he and the other zombies spiraled around my block
so I escaped into my car and took off while hearing the tickety tock,
Looking in my rearview mirror I thanked God for MacGyver
if I'd never had watched his shows I could have been another
zombie that ended up being blown to smithereens
probably by another survivalist housewife just like me.
