It is not a person who is born blind,
who does not want to see,
but rather out of convenience...!
At the police station a case of a guy stabbed
48 times and one last cut on the neck ...
The experts came to the conclusion that the guy
committed suicide ...!
48 stabs himself and cut his neck ...!?
Another guy shot himself in the ear and didn't die ...
He didn't talk, took the revolver and gave
another shot in the other ear ... is it? suicide
2 shots in the ears ...!?
Third case a guy jumped out of a building
19 floors ... hit the ground and didn't die ...
got up, took the elevator and off he went
shoot again ... !!! will it be possible...!?
there was a redneck scarlet woman
who screamed blue murder
after seeing red in a blue movie
making purple passionate love in the pink
to the yellow peril who was green with envy
i have been hating you so long time
that strictly speaking i forgot
why strictly speaking i so hate you
and who you strictly speaking are

It's an iambic tetrameter quatrain, a feminine ending in the first and third lines, no rhymes, punctuation and capital letters. The content is frivolous or humorous. Black humor is welcome. Something like an English limerick, but simpler. Hoping, the soupers would like it)

oh no said sandra and ran out
the chapel the invited guests
the priest the family the girlfriends
look at the empty hearse in awe

i am the only one who knows
we broke up on the other hand
about the fact we were lovers
nobody knows even you

complain in vain about the life

nobody's forcing you to live

in memory of my great friend
Rudi Rubberoid
Grossialdo! Grossialdo!
Rip the face off Uncle Waldo!
Scare that fellow once too often!
Nail 'im in a wooden coffin!
Plant 'im nicely six feet under!
Leave 'im there and let 'im wonder!
Dig 'im up when heartbeat ceases!
Cook 'im for his giggly nieces!—
Yuk! Old Waldo's brain is oozy!
I can't look! It makes me whoozy!
Ship the corpse to Colorado!
To his mother! GROSSIALDO!

angry birds in flight
think of how you’d feel -
black humor perhaps

The dark crept with its black humor
Rallied at the little girls feet
Dared her to move by casting his shadow
Made of a witches broom and a boogeyman
He screamed at the trees and made the tremble
While she grabbed tighter her blanket
Said louder her prayers
That made the dark hiss and react
Moved his apparition under her bed
Then roun' to her closet
With his shady hands he triggers a sound almost like a creek
Lulled the chill bumps from her shoulders
Shut down the night-light
Making it dim and of no help
The black of night
Will laugh into the wolfs howl
Dominating the suns anticipated descend
