Strange Encounter ;)

Strange Encounter

I lay me down upon my bed to sleep one night—
when I heard a noise and saw a shadow slinking out of sight…
“It’s a cursed thief!” I muttered as I rose to get my gun.
I rushed around the corner and ran into one
of the strangest creatures, half substance and half mist.
It trailed three chains behind it, from its waist and from both wrists.
“Who are you?” I stammered, as my gun fell to the floor.
It turned and showed a row of sharp teeth like I’d never seen before.
It laughed and sneered as I woke up from my stupor:
“I’m the pizza and jalapeno peppers you had for supper!”

I like it. :thumbs_up :D I think the 'your' from the last line doesn't quite fit the flow, but apart from that I really like how it build up and has this funny twist in it. :nod: Yes, very nice :)

It is funnily interesting, and touching. It is beautifully written. I liked the way the poet trying something different.

[Pendragon]

I had to agree, Amius, the flow was off. Corrected now. Thanks, Blaze. Humor is different for me, indeed! ;) :)

I like that it is very funny and creative.

Very cute, Pen. I can imagine what a few of mine may have looked like.

Thanks, Madam Amp, Zorro, Virgil, and Boots. Just my whacky sense of humor! :D :lol:
