Limerick(s) of the Week, Special Halloween Edition

Witch in the Woods, Bitch in the 'Hood

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Sticking around till the end

The witch in the woods had the final say

That bitch in the 'hood was making me pay

For spurning her advance

Instead, looking askance

That evoked her voodoo curses my way

***

I doubled over with a stitch in my side

Troubled moreover, a switch in my stride

The pins in a doll

Made my heart stall

All the hallmarks of that fitch outside

***

I bled from every hole that I had

Hematocrit falling bleeding plaid

Vascular systems collapsed

And my wherewithal lapsed

'Til I couldn't get out of my bed

***

Blood from my eyes was the way I cried

Tourniquet on my neck was the way I tried

To keep from bleeding out

And connipting about

All failed and finally up-and-died
