Deadly Child's Play

  Deadly Child's Play

  Clark Steven Lupton

  2003

  

  One dark night in the middle of the day

  Two dead boys rose up to play

  One had a knife the other had a gun

  They chopped their legs off and began to run



  Marbles was their favorite game

  They could even play it when they're lame

  One shot the other in the head

  "I lost my marbles and now you're dead!"



  "I was dead in the first place. Are you dumb?"

  And so he kicked him in the thumb.

  But he had no legs and fell to the ground

  He landed so loudly he didn't make a sound



  By the way, how did they die?

  Their mommy poisoned their pecan pie

  Just then their friend had arrived

  He ate it too, but he survived



  I guess you could say that wasn't fair

  That's because he forgot to put on his underwear

  Stabbing and shooting each other was their way

  Of having fun with deadly child's play






Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wanted to make something that didn't make sense and yet would still rhyme, kinda like the rhymes we used to chant when we were 10 years old. This took months to write because I would just jot down the rhymes as they came to me as the weeks went by. I finally had to force myself to wrap it up and get on with the finer things in life like finding out what are the finer things in life :o)
