Terrible things to great wholesome people. Switch and bait on the most vulnerable. Crumble underneath the weak foundation. Planning and plotting scheming and jiving. Breaking and entering in more ways than one. Just swinging away in my comfortable swinging chair. Invading personal space that penetrates the mind. Great things happen so slowly. Horrible things happen in a blink of an eye. Let me in to never see me leave. Always eager to connivingly please. Oops you fell down the stairs. I have no idea where your personal belongings went. I’m not a mechanic how should I know why your brakes failed down the highway? Stare at your demise through a rearview mirror. Sorry and remorse is a platitude just like roses on Valentine’s day. Take it all in stride to my devious plan. Kiss me under the mistletoe. Hug me under the fireworks. Rush you to the hospital. Trip over the cord and have it pulled. Farewell ol’ friend. You have a special place in my heart as I swing away in my swinging chair.
