A Christmas Give Away Gift
Christmas just around the corner and Karen wanted to go on a shopping spree but she had no money, never mind that her husband was rich, he was king of the misers.
The only way to go in order for her to get her hands on some cash was to get him out of the way. Permanently, She would find a hired killer to do the job. She knew very well that you can find anything and everything on the internet. So she set her mind to it, pressed a few keys and got what she wanted. The guy wanted five thousand dollars up front and another five thousand after.
She readily agreed. Much too quickly...

Actually
He was an actuary
Knew the numbers to a T
But no crystal ball did he have
In the end, so sad
For the percentage did say
The the Grim Reaper was nearby
And ready.
So it was that on his
Seventy-eight birthday
In his sleep he quietly
Passed away.

Sadly (@@)
There was this girl from Sudbury
Who wanted to get away in a hurry
Packed up a bunch of clothes
Too many she chose
Also snapped an item furry
Thus the cat died, suffocated, sadly.

Out of it.
I am a leech on society
I assume and I don't care
Working is much tooooo hard
(Me being by nature
Intrinsically lazy)
Especially with no talent, no skills
Nothing to show, no gift of the gab
And no frills
Just one menial job after another
Way below expectations
Thus no motivation
So always scraping by
Searching under socks
At the bottom of the drawer
For any last and lost penny
But, as usual, nothing there
And after many battles fought
And lost
Depression setting in
And a burn-out being the ...

Fishy
She was a young lady
From Nantrucket
Who was really tired
Of carrying the bucket.
She really liked
Fish and chips
But the smell of this
Catch was atrocious
Indeed smelled like shit
So she pondered as by the seaside
She did sit,
For, she figured, if she carried it
Some more
She knew she'd have a fit,
Might even puke
Never mind that from her boss
She'd get a serious rebuke.
But her stomach in this case
Had the final word
Give it up or throw up
So the fish went to the sea
For she could no...

Not always fair
There was a lady
From Tacoma
Who said she
Didn't wanna
Too bad he was
Already in there.
As in love and war
Things are
Seldom fair.

Keep hoping
There's this charming lady
Who lives in Tampa.
I'd surely love to go down
For a bit of Rumba.
Some to the Mount of Venus aspire
As for me it's her great ass I desire
And to give her a taste of my belt
I aspire.
Sadly between us
On the internet the lust will stay
For such is her desire
And only there will the leather belt
Will be felt,
Sadly.

Bye, gone (@@).
I love her face
I love her style
I love her shape.
But at me
She did not smile
Kept a wide berth,
Oh, barely half a mile,
I'd say.
I wished that between us
It would have clicked
But somehow it seemed
That the very idea
Gave her cramps,
Made her sick
So I finally got the message
Prepared my baggage
And left for Perth.
I love her style
I love her shape.

Dining. Out.
Walking by a restaurant
Observing a couple seated
At a table by the window.
A young couple
Possibly in love.
Each engrossed
By what was happening
On their phone.
Across the table
From each other
But a world apart.
Is one daring to send
An e-mail to a party
Not there?
A party absent, like
One of these two?
