THE FACELESS MAN part 1

999, what’s the emergency?"

"There’s a man following me 
He’s tall with long bony arms 
his body wears a tidy suit 
upon his feet black shiny boots."

"Anything else I need to know? be as accurate as you can  
we need to catch this man." 

"His head is bald but he wears a hat 
And I heard the squeal as he kicked my neighbour’s cat
His body is round, he looks quite fat."

"Where are you now, I need to ask? 
so an officer can be dispatched."

"I’m just turning into my drive 
This man who is following is trying to hide 
I can see him peering from behind a tree 
Oh my god! he’s looking straight at me."

"Stay calm miss, take a deep breath.
Where are you now?
get inside and try and hide."

"I’ve just opened my front door 
Mail lies upon my floor
Hang one sec while I move them to one side."

"Listen miss may I assist? Just close and lock your door 
The mail is unimportant, leave it on the floor.
Where is he now? please tell me, i implore."

Tap,tap,

"He’s at the window now 
Oh my god! He has no face 
Yes that’s right no contours to trace
Completely void  a shapeless face."

"Sorry miss did I hear you right?" 

"Yes! must I repeat my plight?"

"No miss I heard you loud and clear
but did you mean he wears a mask? 
Sorry miss I have to ask."

"No cloth ears, I know what I saw
oh my god he’s standing at my front door  

CRASH!

Oh my god he’s inside the house."

"Listen miss be as quiet as a mouse 
Run upstairs and hide out of sight
Helps on the way, hang tight 
Where is he now? and do not shout."

"Oh my god I heard the stairs creak 
He’s on the stairs what do i do?
i'm so scared i need to poo."

"Please be calm were coming to get you 
Stay under your bed.
listen miss take heed to what I just said."

Arrrrh 

"Miss miss are you there?" 

No reply, static fills the air 

"Miss I will ask one last time 
Wasting police time is considered a crime."

"This is officer Jones on the phone 
we have just arrived at her home 
blood spatters the walls 
glistening bones lye on the floor." 

is she dead?

"Think so sir i tore her to shreds 
and ate  the succulent meat from her ribs 

"excuse me what did you say? put officer Jones on
right away."

"ha,ha,ha, he's in the next room 
want to listen while i remove his eyes with my spoon
take my knife and cut off his lips 
no more tea would he be able to sip."

please sir who ever you are? leave him alone 
just get back into your car."

"sorry no can do, the dirty git just pissed on my shoe."

"so that's it, he's dead and gone?" 

"ha,ha, yeah you could say that, didn't you hear is heart go splat?!
hey operator James, if i'm correct that's your name
i'm suppose you're wondering how i know  your name 
if i told you the answer it would ruin my game. 

This is a polite ask, if you have took the time to read this poem please be kind and leave a review. thanks jeff
