i’d had loads to drink and got up on stage
ready to wipe their asses with my whole life’s page
so i said “blah blah” this and all “blah blah“ that
“are you ready to be in stitches? double drat!”
“i’m the queen of the office! the boss don’t scare me!
the fucking tapeworm in her guts, not her pubic flea!
she’d better step off, man! learn her goddam place!
i’d love to see that smile slapped off her face!”
and so on i ranted in a death metal voice
feigning confidence, as though i had some choice
and then i saw her there, boss behind my workmates
while they booed and hissed like a pack of primates
but she smiled and dropped some coins into my beer mug
“if career suicide’s what you crave then your grave’s dug”
well, i know whatever happens must happen for the best
my home’s a gutter now, and i got that shit off my chest!

I love the ending lines. It gives the serious poem a humorous ending.

Thanks for putting them (poem and reply) together. Someday soon, you will be able to retrack emails, but not quite yet;) Will there be a part two, or is this THE END OF SUICIDE;)

Hey, no problem! 😛 And, yeah, there’ll be a part two sooner than you think! 😉

Mr. Single (may I call you that?) Just kidding, Tony
I read every line of the cycle (part one)
Then clicked the link and found there was none
Went to your website, and search as I could
This post wasn’t anywhere, lost in the wood
The title is funny, the thought is contagious
A suicide cycle? idea outrageous
Except in your case in a figurative sense
You meant your career and used present tense
I saw one advantage of reading that verse
Hearing that swan croak, would have been worse
The path to the gutter seemed so smooth and fast
There’s no way but up when your whole life is dashed
If personal entropy was this story’s goal
You managed in spades to dig a deep hole
Think on the bright side, your future is clear
No singing for sure, and be careful with beer.

Hee hee. Sorry about that! I posted this way too early quite by accident, so I took it down again. But here it is now, back for good! And I have to agree that it’s best not to sing and it’s best to be careful with alcoholic beverages. 😉
