Hello Fiends,
Here is another excerpt from a little book of death poems I am working on called ’101 Ways To Die, Accidents, Murders, And Other Techniques To Lose A Life.’ I wrote this back in May when I was watching a prom couple enjoying a fancy meal at the five star restaurant know as McDonald’s.
Such a special event
The night of your prom
Perfect hair, perfect dress
Just try to remain calm
The butterflies take flight
Everything feels so new
Tonight you’re a princess
Fairy tales do come true
A long black limousine
Parked right outside
Never thought he would ask
Now you sit by his side
As you sail down the road
The sunroof retracts
You jump to your feet
Peek your head out the gap
The starry night sky
As beautiful as can be
Up ahead by the road
Stands a low hanging tree
Once you notice the branch
It’s much too late to stop
It collides with your skull
Ripping your head clean off
Thanks for reading,
~Curtis Rx

Does it make me a terrible person if I laughed so hard at the end my sides started to hurt? I hope not. Well, at least it’s a night her date’ll never forget!

You are a cruel man XD But this can easily happen on various other road trips while riding a car with a folding top,right?
There was sure something wrong with your prom… =)
Oh, that’s just not right …
funny as hell … but just not right!
hehe =P
This is very funny, in a sick twisted kind of way.
Very clever & very awesome. I loved it!
Not to be wierd and disturbed but I actually laughed haha
I love the stuff you write…
Thank you so much for such a hearty laugh. I always feel like a bad person when I laugh at your ghoulish humor, but I can’t help it! The image is so wonderful. I will be first in line to buy your book of poems, sir.
love and zombies, – cyanide.
That’s why you shouldn’t stand up in limos, people.
Loved it.
I feel kinda mean by writing this:
See if something like that happened back in my Senior Prom, I wouldn’t have been so bored.
that made me smile.
haha, that´s awesome. I wish I could write as good poems as you…
but at least I feel inspired to draw a comic of this poem now.
i have no idea why this is as funny as it is but i love it
ha ha i wish that happened at either of my proms. woud’ve been way more fun/interesting.
hee hee
greatest poem ever, mcdonalds is soo awesome
Ah, this makes me so excited for my prom. Can’t wait.
Does it make me a bad person to laugh at this? I love the stuff you write….
It’s definatly a night to remember! Blood on the concrete, a rotting head on the ground…. such great memories…..
If you were to create a chorus for this, it’d make a fucking brilliant song
*hint hint*
utterly flippin beautiful man… if i could hand you a reward for this a rubber would be heading ur way
Wow, I really like this one! So sweet and twisted
Great Job
I think I shall draw something like this. *thinks*
I shall!
Thanks for the inspiration!
It’s very-very good, shall I translate it into Russian?
That illicited a monstrous giggle, haha!
I enjoyed it!
It reminds me of an opening to an episode of six feet under, only the woman was newly divorced and out “painting the town red”, or at least a street sign, If you get what I mean.
I will buy your book.
I will buy it and sleep with it by my side.
I laughed so hard.
Amazing. Brilliant. Marvellous. Extremely entertaining.
Sir, as an avid reader of the macabre, I’d list your name among Poe and Gorey anyday.
A real piece of poetry here. Really made me laugh considering I was talked into going to prom last year, I could hardly gag my way through.
I’d love to link this in my blog sometime, if I may~
Dearie if this book of poems does not get published i’d have to kill all the critics :]
This is absolutely delieghtful! This made me laugh very, very hard. :]
you are sick, i love it.
that’s just perfect, love it.
usually when I read a story i get vivid mental images of what i’m reading…yours are my favorite to read. :] keep it up, i’ll keep reading. maybe if CF makes it’s way to desolate Pueblo West, CO i’ll see you guys.
well thats just lovely… XD
Romantic, actually rather funny, so fascinated with it all she done lost her head!
Oh! you must inform me of when this delightful book is to be published so as I can buy up a copy to feed my dark mind with. It is always hungry for more and your stories are perfect meal.
Wow. Okay. I love this. I laughed my ass off at the end! Great work, this is genius. (:
That, dear sir, is a hilarious way to go.
Hah!
Nothing satisfys my cravings for ghoulish written masterpieces like yours, dear sir. You are a certified genius.
I love this poem! It starts, as I imagine, the way a girl would feel on prom night, and ends the way a guy who doesn’t get laid on prom wishes it would! I laughed at it then realized the poor bastard in the limo just saw his date die!! That would suck, but he could still make love to her, isn’t that right Curtis?
I cant stop laughing at this!
I’m a horrible person.
Great job!
Ahaha, lolz.
I got to say, this is one of your best works.
At first I was wondering,”Oh dear god this is saccharine for Curtis”and then i read the last part.I nearly exploded because i was trying to keep my sick laugh inside.
XD that made me laugh
