| "Bad" Plots
"Open-Mic?" Janet started to say "I don't understand, he just passed away?" They were all there, the entire Jackson clan Even his mother Katherine waited in the sedan
The photographers stood outside where it was gated They knew they family would come out, so they waited The cemetery had informed them with the bad news So many bodies to bury.. so easy to confuse..
They had thought the King of Pop was buried next to the colonnade However this morning they were enlightened when a discovery was made It started when the nuns of Saint Andrews were saying adieu To old Sister Ellen, who passed away quietly at age 92
There was a prayer for Mother Mary to take Sister Ellen home To where the streets are gold and the doorknobs made of chrome When suddenly it happened, like a sign from above The coffin tipped over and out fell this white glove
Sister Ann asked "what's that?" Father Bill said "That is odd" Yet what happened a moment later brought them all closer to God The lid flew open, Sister Ruth let out a real humdinger Instead of Sister Ellen, they were looking at a famous singer
Yet where was Sister Ellen? well.. unknown to anyone n the other side of the cemetery, another service was almost done "Boom Boom" Jackson was a leading member of the local biker gang He loved explosives and motorcycles and how they both went "bang"
But his biggest tragedy happened on his very own front porch When he tried to light a stick of dynamite with his blow-torch His biker buddies took what remained (it was not alot) And they pitched in together and bought him a cemetery plot
They said their goodbyes and each drank a beer When suddenly a guy in a suit came running up from the rear "Open the casket" he said, "Inside there is a nun!" Killer looked at Chainsaw, they both reached for a gun
"Open Michael's grave?" Janet repeated herself Her mother took another drink from the wine on the shelf Crowded behind the caretaker, eight nuns and an old priest Then they heard a gunshot from somewhere north or east
The caretaker stopped talking, his eyes got real big "We just put my brother in the ground and now you want to dig?" She felt her anger building, she felt like a woman possessed Then she remembered what she needed to do if she got stressed
Of course she was stressed, she lost her brother and now THIS She needed to get out of the limo and find someone to kiss Because kissing made her feel better and right now she felt ill She stood up and grabbed someone, it happened to be Father Bill
The nuns started screaming again, suddenly Janet could see A photographer had climbed the fence and was sitting in a tree "Just my luck" she yelled.. but no one could hear her Because just yards away a group of motorcycles was getting near her
Dear reader, you would like to know what happens next, I'm sure But some stories have no endings, it's part of their allure So have a heart, it's in my nature to keep my humor well hid Create an ending for yourself because you can be sure.. I did © 2012 | |

| This could never have worked so well without the brilliant rhyming and rhythm.
As they say, it's not the story, but the way you tell it !! Exalt

Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
