Anne from Gibsonville

You say you’re just a disabled woman,
but Anne there’s no one as uniquely wonderful as you.
At age fifty you think you’re looks are gone,
but Anne there’s no one as beautiful as you.
You dream of all the things you could have done,
but Anne you did more than enough, and
no one could ever be as loving as you.
And I must have been favored by angels in heaven
on the day I met beautiful, wonderful you.

Warrior Woman

Hello, good to see you again
I see you survived the cancer
And everything is okay again
I know things were tough going
And I know you almost died
But you’re in remission now
And everything is good again
And you’re a stronger you
A fearless warrior woman
Ready to face any challenges
That life might send your way
And you lost fear of dying
Empowered by the cancer
Refined in the fires of
All you bravely endured

A Pious Man on Sundays

He led a quiet life
Always kept to himself
Except for trips to church
A pious man on Sundays
Respectful to everyone
The rest of the week
Stayed level-headed
Until the urge returned
And he began killing
Young women again
After the urge sated
He moved far away
And became good
And quiet once again
And never bothered
Anyone util the urge
Reawakened in him
And he resumed the
Kills and twisted thrills
Until he died never
Having gotten caught
For over sixty murders

Thirty Years of Marriage

Thirty years of marriage until one day
Martha said to Arthur she’d had enough
Of his demands and control over her.
Stayed with him for year for appearances,
Pretended she was happily married
Despite his controlling her every move.
He couldn’t accept her breaking away,
Got his shotgun, tried to kill her, but
Prepared for his attempt to kill her,
She shot him first in self defense,
