The Monster

------------------------------------ the offending poet

knock... knock...
no one answered.
tip-toe, tip-toe, tip-toe,
the monster broke into the house
with a gun in his hand
guarded by men from his band.

Symphony brothers,
that's what they called themselves.
the most dreaded band of the south
from the checklist that they filled,
it's almost hundred th

at they have killed.

"sshhh...." said the monster to his noisy friend
"don't ruin the reputation we have made", he said.
they killed silently,
with no witnesses.
with no fear of god,
they proceeded.

the monster went into the basement,
it was full of racks with books and booze on them.
all carefully preserved.
he searched for the wife, the husband and the girl
and then beside a rack,
he saw the husband
tip-toe, tip-to, tip-toe,
he went towards him
and found the 3 of them together.

boom, boom, boom...
3 shots were fired,
the room was full of gun powder smell.
with the blood all around,
it sure looked like the hell.
And that's how I killed them
preserving my reputation and fame.
