GLADLY DIG YOUR GRAVE

David Fried, aka Alohadave

 

Before I go, you should know,

I miss my teeth you let them take.

I miss the bones with you to pick,

I miss the fetching of the stick.

I won’t miss you leaving me alone.

Bowl of water, crappy music, and no one home.

 

We had some fun, you and I,

don’t worry about it, now that I’m bye-bye.

So, when you’re ready, dear daddy,

Simply get another one of me,

 

I would gladly dig your grave, and would not cry.

Digging is one thing I do best, it is no lie.

I was born to dig. The couch, carpet, and sand in your food and face.

Show the spot for your grave, and I’ll dig like hell in that place.

Gladly! Yours truly

The princess

 

David is a UHMC student currently taking English 104, Introduction to Creative Writing, taught by Paul Wood.
