Perhaps A Sharpened Knife... Poem by Shaun Cronick

Perhaps A Sharpened Knife...

Rating: ★5.0


What shall I give you for your birthday,
My loving faithful wife.
Perhaps a beautiful sports car,
Or perhaps a sharpened knife.

What shall I give you for our anniversary,
My trusted loyal spouse.
Perhaps a new gold wedding ring,
Or iron bars for the outhouse.

What shall I give you for Christmas,
My devoted trouble and strife.
Perhaps the corpse of your lover,
Who tried to take my life.

Not as dark as a false rhyming name who cowardly hides offline.
