Best Man Eater Poems
Limerick : Once a tongue-twisting Pop Man-Eater
Once a tongue-twisting Pop Man-Eater
Went on rampage with just her Strummer
Tunes she hissed were so sweet
Crunched Frenchmen by the fleet
Watch Out ! ‘Merica ! for this Nor’-Easter !

There was young “lady" of Chester
Who not only dated a jester
But also and baker n' smith
whom she all liked to kiss
she's known as the great man-molester
Eyes hypnotic, body exotic-
Envelop me in your embrace!
Oh, I fear your touches toxic-
They set my Heart to race!
As is my fashion, a hostage of passion,
And bathed in an amorous flood
And now I feel my feelings gnashing-
Like a shark that senses Blood!
Man Eater.
I was filleting a mackerel when I found a finger in its innards
not much left of it looked like a prawn shell with fingernail,
I said nothing dipped the fillets in flour and deep fried them
served with cucumber salad, boiled potatoes and melted
butter, just the way they like it in Sweden.
The finger was spotted again amongst all the stuff to be thrown
into the bin. great commotion, I said nothing, but have not since
been eating mackerels, they apparently feed on fishermen.
Tongues twist,words roll;
Friends and family wonder;
What it is,that has eaten me up!
I'll not tell them anything,
I'll let them think and think-
Till they feel they have the answer.
Whatever is consuming my flesh,
Hasn't reached my soul,
They don't have to worry.
This,that feasts on my blood,
Hasn't gotten to my bone marrow,
I'm still meeting new days.
But,reality is;
When I look at my image in the mirror,
It doesn't represent who I am.
That reflection is of,
A young girl,short and slender;
And tending to severe acute malnutrition,SAM.
I'm also surprised,
But atleast, I know what's wrong with me;
The man eater is eating me up.
It comes with friends, school,family.
It comes with broken relationships.
It comes with failed missions.
It comes with sickness,loans and betrayal.
It comes with so much,
That you and I have tasted.
The man eater is killing me,
The same way it left the city with heads hanging in the air,
Bodies lying still in the mogue, following suicide.
It sent most of its preys to mental health units,
When it deprived them of sleep and brought them addictions;
When it got them depressed and hallucinated.
To cut it short,it's eating me up,
Like you can see;
But it's you to save me.
Much as you tell me to open up,
You do so with an ear, eager to gather news,
To spread out to the entire community.
It is stress,
That haunts my hurt heart;
And tears me apart.
Late at night you can hear the story,
about this girl, she makes men bleed.
Voice of an Angel, beautiful eyes,
She's a man eater, in disguise.
She takes all they have and leaves them too die
Everyone wants her I don't know why...
I can't slam the door and lock her out
I'm under her spell she's got me now.
I can't stop falling in love
Just to see her is not enough.
So cut me open, make me bleed
Do anything that you please.
This bodies your till the end of time.
I'll pass your tests and make you mine.
I got too know her I learned a few things,
She's vampire and she's wearing my ring.
We cruise the streets, late at night,
we go clubbing' till the morning light.
She's taking all I have and leaving me to die.
I still love her, I don't know why...
I can't slam the door and lock her out
I'm under her spell she's got me now.
I can't stop falling in love
just too see her is not enough.
So cut me open, make me bleed.
Do anything that you please.
This bodies your till the end of time.
I'll pass your tests and make you mine.
Every time you kiss my lips
I go to my room and write songs like this.
Every time I see your smile,
I fall in love, for a little while.
Every time you say goodbye,
I slit my wrists and hope too die.
Cut me open, make me bleed,
do anything that you please.
I can't stop falling in love,
just too see her is not enough.
