Snapped

Paul Bell

 

He slit her throat, and watched as six pints of blood ruined the new floor that had taken him the best part of the day to lay

That was typical of the woman

Red was her favourite colour

This would amuse her greatly

Anything to cause him grief

She was such a messy woman

Shoes, don’t get him started on shoes

One hundred pairs

Who needs one hundred pairs of shoes

He should phone the police

They would understand

Probably be sympathetic

Surprised you never done it years ago mate

In fact, the best thing to do is cut her head off

Put it on a pole

Hang it up in the street to deter other women

That’s what he would do

It worked; women were running and screaming everywhere

He watched as ten Police cars stopped off to congratulate him

You okay mate

Yes, thanks lads, never been better

Just cooking Mary for lunch.

    Bloody Mary? is that the drink of the day? Wow! the mind of the insane as it devolves, but who is insane. Of course the one that doesn't fit. A darkly humorous poem of derangement that is life and death. Well written my friend.
