So joyful Sue was, to be picked for the cast
but her mother stared daggers, completely aghast
“you’ll NOT be half-dressed, a disgrace on the stage–
when your father finds out, you’ll catch heat of his rage!”
Sue couldn’t help smiling–Dad would see her at last ♥ ~

Foolish ladies, they followed Jim
(some weren’t ladies, merely followed a whim)
he broke their hearts, for he loved just one
(2 fled town before the rising sun!)
no manners, nor morals–Jim was dim

(and a Class-A jerk with badge & gun)

The apple of his mother’s eyes
upon his whim the sun would rise
but as her prince there was a cost
too early found his childhood lost
chained to midnights drinking lies

Oh how she yearned to be calm–
DNA of a soft-swaying palm…
but raised by crazed mother
everyday tight-wound bother
much solace she took in the Psalms ~

“Goodnight, Goodnight!” she cried, “Goodnight!”
to all Past ghosts who gave her fright
she longed for just wee bit of peace
but monstrous dreams refused release–
Then sane voice laughed, “turn on the light!”

On her hands she had far too much time
thus, unlikely to write a fine rhyme
she pondered wild scheme (🔪🔫🔪)
visualized the scene’s scream
and with wicked glee planned her first crime!
