Winter's Coat

Once it began to snow
my desperation started to show
for the coals started to glow
for outside it was 20 below
it was my will that I bestow
to kill a man with my bow
to skin him alive till his muscles show

A coat is what I want
a mink so I can flaunt
with the heat it brings I shall not want
with this good cheer I will not taunt
but this murder my nerves will haunt

Now doing twenty to life
I am warm but full of strife



This is Burlesque to make fun of something serious

Very distrubing to my insides even though it is suppose to be funny. Keep writing. Sara
