Poetry about murder and other emo sort of things.

Go on, post yours today!

Jimmy was a baby still well in his youth
I'm guessing he did not have even a tooth
I have no concept of age, you see
So this will have to do.

I'll assume Jimmy is almost one year old
On his first birthday, this story is told
That is to say, that is when it is set
For convenience's sake.

Probably a bit too young to understand
Why at this point a party was planned
Well, I don't think a baby would know...
They probably can't even count.

Jimmy was given a box by Mama and Pop
He looked at the box and whacked the top
You see he didn't really get that the box was a present
He'll appreciate that more when he's older.

As the box was by the parents unwrapped
A noise from within, it rustled and tapped
I'm saying that there was something moving inside
In case you thought it was just the unwrapping noises.

Box unwrapped, lid removed, Dad's hands dove in
Mummy was busy putting wrapping in a bin
You see, when you unwrap a present, normal people throw it out
Not fold it up and save it for another present.

Out came Dad's hands as Mummy returned
And on this day, baby Jimmy, he learned
Of the existence of a small furry creature with long ears
It had small eyes and was a bunny.

The bunny was small and furry and had small eyes
Wait, we've been through this, I apologise
I honestly started this verse with those words
Without thinking about it. Sorry.

Jimmy looked at the bunny and the bunny looked back
Wondering if this giant baby was going to attack
Well, if you were that small and were looking at a giant baby with no real conscience
You'd probably be a bit worried too.

And then the murderous bunny murdered Jimmy to death
Mummy and Daddy also this day took their last breath
Because the bunny killed them all
And so ends the tale of Jimmy and the murderous bunny.


I'm so deep.

g0sh Towns, that touched me on a deep personal level. A figurative touch.

I was in tears after the first two lines. <--- my excuse for only reading the first two lines.

Those two lines came right from the heart, man. I'm glad they reached to you.

They reminded me of back in the day when I was young and innocent and foolish and young. Oh here they come again...

There once was an emo who was always abused,
Then decided he wasn't gonna take it.
He listened to bands like Green Day and The Used,
But his fave was really Limp Bizkit.


Hmmm ...
