The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

On Maple the lights start to fluctuate.
Tommy says, “This is planned, it’s not fate
The monsters are here!”
People lash out in fear,
And the aliens now only need wait.

Hiatus

It’s that time of year again: finals. Updates will resume mid-December, when tests conclude.

The Eye of the Beholder

Her deformed face made young children cry.
At the hospital, re-construction, the doctors would try.
But when we see her face,
It is no disgrace.
For you see, beauty is in the beholder’s eye.

An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge

The man climbed to the gallows top,
But the rope slipped so he could drop.
Though escape seemed assured,
Alas, all this occurred
Between the long fall and short stop.

The Trouble with Templeton

There once was an actor named Booth
Who longed for the days of his youth.
He went back to his life,
But his young, pretty wife
And his former best friend were uncouth.

The Last Flight

There once was a man who in fright,
When his friend was in trouble, took flight.
To the future he came
And admitted his shame
Then returned for that final, brave fight.

To Serve Man

The aliens came down here in force,
Gave us peace and a cheap power source.
We went to their home
In groups and alone
Not knowing we were the main course.
