egg

A bad country song
piggies deserve a good meal
sad guys finish last.

Endless flood of tea
although some prefer fish sauce
oh look, a loop hole.

Daddy's little lamb
wanders off, but soon comes home
safe in the attic.

Poke the hornet's nest
see who flies into a rage
no time for feelings.

All just happenstance
abducting respectfully
what a pretty prize.

Names, fates, memories
reused like little gold fish
doomed by a pig's tail.

Don't ever cross her
her mother's daughter, no lie
she will ice you out.

From squalid city
to desolate burnt out husk
should have flown to Wales.

Robin is a brat
a moody cardboard cutout
just forbidden fruit.

The man of your dreams
hunky, but still sensitive
little bit psycho.

A dangerous gal
asks way too many questions
even knows her math.

Nice war you've got there
sneaky people on both sides
don't get too attached.

Not such a bargain
eternal gray stagnation
greedy little apes.

Don't complicate things
an unlikable victim
shanked in the basement.

Beauty and the creep
old man destroys a young girl
gets rich from the book.

Awful decisions
damaging consequences
spread the pain around.

New critters, eat ‘em
kick that shiny toy open
push all the buttons.

Misery for all
branches of a rotten tree
cursed blood, not the land.

Fresh homegrown robots
saving us from war and work
but not from women.

Poet's last hurrah
such rich source material
subtle as a brick.

Luckless marriages
small town lives and petty wrongs
a lovely long tale.

Some hero you are
you're supposed to protect her
not make her save you.

Big for his britches
wants to rip off a rich man,
impress his mommy.

Your face in many
distorted and repurposed
recognizable?

It beggars belief
they must be spreading herpes
thrush from head to toe.
