The VICTIM
On a bright and sunny day
my mommy told me to go out and play
so I took my bike out on the street
and there I happened, by chance, to meet
a big, fat clown with a nice, wide smile
who asked me to come in for a while
to his house, he said, because he
had some thing to show to me
so I went inside, but I was not prepared
something smells funny, and I'm getting scared....
The KILLER
I lured him down to the basement to play
the kind of games I like, such as these
"show Uncle Pogo your bottom" and
"get on your hands and knees"
He cried and begged me to let him go home,
he was a very naughty little boy
so I tied him up and gagged his mouth
Oh my! this i'm going to enjoy!
I took my pleasure from his pain
and the horror in his young face
then I strangled the cute little whelp
and stuffed him in the crawlspace.
The Cop
"Pogo the Clown", was arrested today
far later than he should have been
while searching his home, to our dismay
(God forgive us our blindness and sin),
the rotting remains of some thirty-odd boys
crammed in a crawlspace, tightly
and stuffed among them, their bikes and their toys
I will dream of this horror nightly

Sick. Just what I was wanting from this contest. I like the three way perspective, different, but good! You most likely could have made this poem something else without the restriction of rhyme, just my personal opinion. Gacy is a sick fuck... And I have a phobia of clowns, soo yes. Good write and thank you for entering!

A nice summary of a long string of events. I found Gacy to be the most repulsive of an serial killer. I think it's because of his cold demeanor, never claiming responsibilty, and his total lack of remorse. I'm gald you wrote about him because I don't think I could have.
