Furniture Gone Bad | Poem by Joan Pond
Furniture Gone Bad
by Joan Pond
I saw the sign on the pole.
Missing sofa—
please call.
I envisioned some grand settee,
off
on a journey.
Its wooden legs
taking it cross town.
Had it been unhappy at home?
If they’d known,
would therapy have helped?
Perhaps a furniture intervention.
Psychologists would say,
re-upholstering
could bolster the ego.
It’s sad
when furniture
suddenly goes
astray.

She’s a Serial Killer by Jake Tween with Lyrics
The first was a Chinese Miner.
With a pick axe she cracked his head
and now there’s one less miner
in China
The second was a Sri Lanka Banker.
She suffocated him instead.
and now there is one less banker
in Sri Lanka
The third was a Tebetan vet
She put something in his tea
and now there is one less vet
in Tibet
The fourth was a Jamaican baker.
She strangled with an apron string
and now there is one less baker
in Jamaica
Oh this is a warning for guys all around the world.
If you want to survive, keep away from that girl.
She’ll make you plead,
get down on your knees,
and beg for your life,
the girls got a knife,
she’s a real life,
serial killer.
The fifth was a clerk in Denmark.
She stopped with a fountain pen
and now there is one less clerk
in Denmark.
The sixth was a spy in Brunei.
She made it look like a suicide
and now there is one less spy
in Brunei.
Oh this is a warning for guys all around the world.
If you want to survive, keep away from that girl.
She’ll make you plead,
get down on your knees,
and beg for your life,
the girls got a knife,
she’s a real life,
serial killer.
Oh this is a warning for guys all around the world.
If you want to survive, keep away from that girl.
She’ll make you plead,
get down on your knees,
and beg for your life,
the girls got a knife,
she’s a real life,
serial killer.
