Some heads are gonna roll
Lance Lyde was distraught after decapitating his wife in 2018. Driving erratically into downtown Billings, Montana, he attracted the attention of a police cruiser. Lyde crashed his truck into an oncoming vehicle, killing two more people. On impact, Sadie Lyde's head flew out of the truck and landed several feet away. Mr. Lyde got out of the truck and begged police to shoot him. The police let him live. The rest of Mrs. Lyde was later found in the dining room of the couple's home. It looked like they were about to eat breakfast.

Be Nice to Mice
Be nice to the mice family living within your walls
Quietly wandering, not as bothersome as a louse’s calls
Sneaking food to survive, though they leave crumbs for you
It’s not much, but they thought it’d be kind to leave a few
They’ve tried to be more than pests, offering a song
While you poison their food, they sing “Le Festin” all along
But they couldn’t, pushed away like a burden on your chest
Not worth a breath, let alone sharing a heart with an unwanted guest
To you, they remain outsiders, undeserving and small
They’ve...

What a pity
During a 1990 KKK initiation ritual in Kentucky, Eaton Beaver fired several shots into the air. Perhaps not fully grasping the concept of gravity, he never considered that what goes up must come down. The descending bullet struck fellow Klansman Harry Azcrac in the head, wounding him critically.

This dog has nine lives
Andy Felthersnatch's dog burst into flames when it peed on a live wire. Felthersnatch later told the press, "There was an almighty explosion and the whole street lit up. I turned around and my dog was on fire." Power was off for five hours that day in a small town 30 miles north of Ottawa, Canada. Against all odds, the dog survived.

Was it a charm

That caused such harm

To my arm

Or a curse

Or maybe
During an alien abduction

perhaps they placed me into suction

Dots Dash For Morse
Dot dashed
She loved Morse
But thought it wouldn't last
As Morse dashed away
But Morse
Was secretly dotty, about Dot
Dot dashed to Morse
As she found him quite dashing
They later married!
And became a circus act
The dashing Morse
Would stand on Dots head
So together
They became an exclamation
They had no offspring
As they were incapable of such things
Resulting in Dot dashing off
With a question mark
She liked her curves...___...?

Sixty Score Codsprats!
All sounds fishy to me
So i sailed the seven seas
Which had all turned to sand
Making it much easier to find land
And no concerns about sinking
Which set me to thinking
I was to introduce a selkie into this tale
Wondering if she had codsprats for sale
A hundred dozen, or sixty score
Don't think i'd want any more
Sixty score codsprats
1200 Postcards (at)

Deck of Cards (AfterSexDilemma collab)
AfterSexDilemma:
Falling to the ground, Big Bang,
That's the sound.
A big man balancing on a tricycle,
Dancing like a clown.
High in the Sefirot trying not to drop.
Opened my mouth couldn't get it to stop.
Pressure boiling in with hot steam,
Makes my ears pop.
The fish in the sky are going dry.
Start to flip flop.
High on my mind wasting time on the clock.
I'm in decline, getting behind, still in line,
Want fame from the tick tock.
The grandfather signs spirals and shines, ...
Falling to the ground, Big Bang,

Makes my ears pop.
The fish in the sky are going dry.

Want fame from the tick tock.

Keybored
I've searched for you all over
through concrete and clover
I know you're the one
my mission is done
I give my life to your pleasure
thrills beyond any measure
I have so must lust to share
it just isn't fair
how long you made me wait
for this lovely fate
This poem is so dumb
it's making me numb
the ending words match
but here's the catch
you may be gleaning
a trace of meaning
but I'm just being flirty
with my qwerty
through concrete and clover
I know you're the one
my mission is done
I give my life to your pleasure
thrills beyond any measure
I have so must lust to share

how long you made me wait

This poem is so dumb

Foot Loose
I sat with one of my legs
Hanging over the side of the bed
Daydreaming (it was 3:30am
So i suppose i should call it night dreaming
Whilst wide awake!)
Letting my imagination run away with me (like we were eloping!)
When i imagined an arm coming out
From under my bed
And grabbing me by the ankle!
Needless to say
I quickly lifted my leg onto the bed
Which made me feelb quite silly
So out of bravado, and retalliation to my fears
And that it was complete nonsense to have such fears
I decided to hang both mylegs over the side...

On/Off The Web
I just saw a large spider
Scuttle across my floor
And my immediate thought is
"That's a large spider!"
But it's now 4am
And i'm in no mood for spider hunting
But i have to consider. once i fall asleep
Will this giant enormous spider
("what me! exagerate?")
Pounce on me in my slumber?
I decide to take my chances
As sleep beckons, like a tax return
And what if the spider bites me?
And turns out to be radio-active
Will i become Spider Woman?
I doubt it, as apart from anything
I'm terrified of...
