The Final Collegiate Affair Scare
From The Workshop Collection
What remains is
Of my beloved sis
I brought her to the frat house
Thinking she was going to be my spouse
Quiet like a mouse
She was
Feeling a buzz
Knowing I had my lovely cheese in a trap
Still angry from our debatable flap
She claims Delta something or other
Attractive to be someone’s lover
That is right she came to university to be a mother
Getting pinned as a Mrs. Nurse
I the gullible husband would carry the financial purse
After we received our degree
When will be a suitable time to be you and me?
That is when I got her alone
Even made her turn off her cell phone
Saying we must pick this final conversational bone
“Did you purchase that special graduating commitment ring?
I want to be your Queen and you the King
In a family household
Where we will not be cold,”
That is when I stoked the fire
Knowing things that made her a liar
Taking the spear from the heated logs
I placed the javelin weapon through the hog
Piercing her heart
That split a part
Before igniting in flames
Wondering who was to blame
“You my love
Are not above
My true reason
Now stop your teasing
I will now go about my personal biz
And look for a second miss
That is my true wish
Someone else lured for the eternal kiss
Years since have passed
Death for me will be coming fast
Confrontation I never had
From that day where I did something bad
Without any concern
I did return
To the campus where she was placed in an urn
And of course, did earn
The Bachelor’s degree
That was put on the wall for all to see
There they were all in their gowns
Excitingly smiling no need for a frown
Pictures taken wearing caps and robes
Ready to accept the adult challenges on this globe
Moving the tassel
Without a hassle
In the right direction
Confirming academic protection
Soon they will be dressed in scrubs ready to perform
Operating in the room keeping the patient warm
For a second a memory came to mind
A nursing student who was truly kind
Someone who I took out to dinner
Always telling me I was the bread winner
Observing the new pinning nurse's line
I could not decline
An invisible ghost
Preparing a roast
“She is here
This is getting very weird”
Still in the uniform tight
And white
Soothing attitude to those with a sudden fright
“Why did you break my heart
And split it apart?”
A question raised to exam
That was her haunting plan
“Where do I start?”
I asked from my pulsating heart
Recounting the murderous task
Miss Doe first name
Jane
Most wanted me to explain
“I need an answer,
From you my cancer”
“Soon I will be dead”
In quiet prayer I said
Having a conversation in my head
“That is when
I will defend
And mend,”
My debatable decision
Stating my position
To take a wife
Or a life
It was then my organ ticker stopped its beat
She turned on the heat
“It is time for me to attack
Using this hinted whack”
Displaying the angelic snake and cross
A BSA graduate came over to be a boss
Hard they pushed on my chest
Not a second to rest
It is time to confess
This Saintly golden aurora glared
A stare
Enjoying my scare
Laying there now in peace
Future health heroes declaring me deceased
