Big Fish

"Tell me a story", she said,

Eagerly, looking at my head,

I replied, "it won't be a normal story,

And by the end it will get gory".

The story starts with a man,

A hunk named Stan,

He was charming and sweet,

Handsome and complete.

His skin white like cream,

He was every woman's dream,

He dated many women,

And seemed a nice human.

But under his skin,

A demon lived within,

Every woman he dated,

Were all those he baited.

He'd look at you like a lover,

With murderous intent undercover,

Unaware of his true intent,

Lovely talks turn to lament.

He'd kill them with pleasure,

Enjoying it like leisure,

Then looking at their corpse he'd say,

'Oh sorry baby I just wanted to play.'

'He has serious issues,' says many,

But I don't think he has any,

My thoughts on him are different,

I think he does it for refreshment."

She took a sip of wine and said,

"Why are you supporting a man this bad,

I'd kill him on the first sight,"

I took out my knife and said, "not tonight",

I stepped towards her murderously,

But she still sat casually,

She drew out her gun and shot me down,

I realised I am not the only psycho in town.

She came near me,

And said "What a pity,

Let me tell you the story of a woman,

Known as Sinister Stacy to everyone."

Then suddenly she choked and fell,

Looking at the wine glass she cursed "aw hell",

Waiting for death I crawled towards my prey,

And said "Oh sorry baby I just wanted to play."
