Rapt Delight

Her head plump on wedding’s day.
She might as well be wedding a butcher,
because they both treat her like meat,
Boar's Head Turkey, lean.
But she’ll still stare at herself in his cleaver.

As she quick-steps down the aisle
holding a bouquet of chicken feet,
she is a lovin’,
herself.

Lady, lady, lady,
rapt in the “Mirror, I know you.”
You stare into the lookin’ glass
screamin’:

“Goddess, I bode my delight.
Never I saw a creature as tasty.
Ambrosia,
pure ambrosia,
you are I,
so we will become lovers.
Mirror, I know you…

I'm not smart, I'm just a tricky dumb person.

This is really bizarre (however that word is spelled) and I think that is why I like it so much.  It's dark and wonderful.

Midnitesun, don't worry, I didn't lose any of my three friends, lol.

Thanks aziza, as time goes by you'll find out that I'm more bizarre than sometimes humanly possible.

Billy (obviously) tha kid, thanks for calling me weird...

you can never be too bizarre...being normal is boring...oh in not so many words..enjoyed  

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
