Mz Maisies

Mz Maisies

Poor Mz. Maisies
Pushing up daisies
Residing in a flowerbed
A bullet lodged in her head

A husband rather fickle
Brain ever in a pickle
One night shot her dead
Bemused as she bled

Rolled snug as a bug
In a posh Persian rug
A fool of a man always sot
Loved and never forgot

Ghostly Mz. Maisies
Always had the crazies
Bent on leveling a score
He oblivious to what's in store

Devote plan to pay a dues
Drowning in wicked booze
Swilling a whiskey rye
Endless flasks never run dry

Till one night in a hazy state
He finally met aΒ fitting fate
Stumbled in a niche just dug
Plotted bug in a beryl-turf rug

Well delivered. Horror with dark humour flowing through it, brilliant.
​​​​​​Or at least that is how it feels to me, maybe wrong.
