Hello Fiends,
Here is another excerpt from a little book of death poems I am writing called ‘101 Ways To Die, Accidents, Murders, And Other Techniques To Lose A Life’.
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
You told all your friends
Now what will they do
Excitement, anticipation
Building within your bones
A day of self-importance
And your ego has grown
What are they planning
Maybe a surprise party tonight
Perhaps a table full of gifts
So predictable, so trite
A ring from the door
The postman is here
A package on the doorstep
The contents unclear
No name, no address
Whatever could it be
From an old acquaintance
Or a branch of your family tree
As you rip off the lid
You just stand there and gawk
While you’re blown into pieces
By a bomb in a hatbox
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thanks for reading,
~Curtis Rx

Imagine someone read this on there birthday. Oh, the irony!
Is it bad that all your death poems make me giggle? Because they do. A lot.
Oh well, if it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right!
Love this. I can’t wait for the next one!
1. I laugh! 2. This can happen! 3. BOOIMTHDAY
I tell you in your space about 1.000…..0000… Ways to Love!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! -says with retarded grin and full of stupidity- AKA being myself)

a bomb in a hat box – c. rx
i prefer curtis rx’s. just sayin….
like most people on this website I laughed and I honestly couldn’t believe what I had just read. So I re-read it out loud and my uncle heard it and all he could say is, “That’s great!” with a smile on his face.
this just might prove that everyone has a wicked sense of humour.
Ha! Love it.
My friends would do that to me without realizing the outcome would be lethal. >:l
Oh, how cute! I can’t wait for this book to be published. =]
Truly brilliant! I shall laugh myself to sleep tonight thinking of a few special people I would love to see blown to bits. Happy Hauntings Curtis RX!
Because birthdays in October are the most dangerous but their also the most entertaining.Actually,most people I’ve known that have October are very odd and at times crazy. O_o How do I know,I’m one of them =]
Birthdays filled with gore,horrors,ghoulish creatures and the monster mash,just my type of party!!
Hey! My sister’s birthday is in a few days! I’m totally gonna read this to her.
Oh to send a bomb on someones birthday.. I must learn to build letter bombs..
Amazing, you inspire me so much. I think of your amazing work every time I write something. Thank You.
you just made my day man!
brillant!
I can’t think of anything witty to write — not that anything I’ve ever written is witty — so I’m just going to say this is brilliant and leave it at that.
great gift for that awful aunt of mine. i do think she’ll like it very much too.
i love this one. it’s so full of ghoulish irony. very artistic.
I can just imagine the postman flinging his hands up and yelling “HAPPEH BIRTHDAY!”
Nice. I would have read this last week.

You’ve got to admire the skill of the person who made the bomb, they timed it just right!
