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.’ Most of the deaths in the song ‘A Gorey Demise’ from my band ‘Creature Feature’ are based off poems I was writing at the time. This one was the basis for “S is for Steve who was shot with a bow.” Poor little unfortunate Stevie.
No more school
Summer is finally here
Now it’s off to boys camp
After a long boring year
With your bags all packed
Leave the parents behind
No homework, no chores
It’s time to unwind
Hike through the trails
Swim in the lakes
Awaken every morning
To the smell of hot cakes
While waiting in line
At the archery range
You spot a lizard
And a chase is engaged
Into the dry brush
You quickly follow
Suddenly a camper
Releases his longbow
Far from the bull’s-eye
He’ll soon feel remorse
You’ve been stuck in the head
By an arrow off course
Thanks for reading,
~Curtis Rx

Poor kid…
“A horse is a horse, of course, of course…” ah, Mister Ed.
Well… the kids at camp will have an interesting story to tell their parents when they get home!
I hope it’s not wrong that I giggled at the end.
I’d like to hear more about the unfortunate and ill-fated “A Gorey Demise” children.
i giggled. dumb kid should know better.
~smiles~
Yowsers!
another reason why I don’t like camping…wonderful poem though…it did bring a smile to my face
*Giggle* I can’t help but laugh at Steve’s unfortunate and gorey demise!
haha…at least i am not the only one who laughed at the end…
these are the kinds of poems i only read & i cant wait to hear more about the ‘gorey dismise’ children…
Wow, he can be like the First Born Son from Thir13en Ghosts!
That’s wicked awesome.
I loved this
S is for steve who was shot with a bow
Muhahahaha….. poor Steve. Yet another reason I never have, and never will, go to camp. Two reasons, 1, it’s not fun at all, 2, I could get an arrow in my head
Muahaha!! It is delightfully wicked in its hilarity!
i agree with everyone else before me. minus the camp part.
I hope this book gets published
Poor lizard.
