slink up
behind them
in the stale of
night
with a baseball bat
with nails
sticking out of the end
and bash them in the
head
like a zombie
terrorizing your childhood
home.
do not listen
to their
bullshit.
bitch back.
stomp
on their
toes.
poison
their drinking
water.
let the fucking
curse words shout
at their
stupid
fucking
faces like
unintentional spitwads
but don’t
talk
behind their backs.
my poems
keep their friends close,
but their enemies
even
closer.

I figured zombies and baseball bats with nails in them would be friendly.
You got me at “zombie”
I love this poem, very original, and extremely expressive
thanks for the follow by the way.
Haha. Zombie usually sells people. Thank you for reading!
WOW- my attitude is similar- keep your friends close; your enemies closer. Gotta love the “undead”

Thank you! Glad to have met up with you in WordPressland.
punch line is,” get email updates from….” so enemy closer was..you mean..ahan..okay..
Ha! I am quite a fan of this one. Even though I DO have a bit of a soft spot for zombie related things, I think I can definitely chalk this one up to originality and humor. Me gusta.
slink up behind them!! Awesome.
Beautiful start to finish !
Always be open to criticism, yes… it is in this way we learn and can then share our learning… and that is as fine a purpose in life as any! Nice work.
