the slapstick phantom
the slapstick phantom
I died of laughter
said the slapstick phantom
by the grave of Mary sue.
He was talking to the rabbit
of the great havoc
of the time the crime was due.
It was horrible, he sighed
With one eyebrow coked up
I really did try but he just wouldn’t stop!
And that was what the slapstick phantom said
with a tear trailing down his cheek
he was cursed with a smile that just wouldn’t desist
Interesting piece. I like that it was an upbeat poem. There's too many depressing, morbid pieces online anymore. IT's like no one writes when they're happy anymore. Thanks for the smile.
Hehe, i liked this lots. The flow was very natural when read aloud and the concept was interesting and clever. Favourite lines...
