- The Cruise Director -

 

 

 

 

 

Small orchard of lemons and limes hung
from branches of topiary trees
in oval office of mortician

known for the company he keeps
who never questioned his handy work
when guests are given face lifts,

complimentary body contours to remove
any unwanted build up after rigor mortis
was reduced by half in most areas.

Formaldehyde cocktails with curly straws
sedated any sediment in veins,
he passed through each person
without them fully aware.

Called himself the Cruise Director-

of his own ship
and slipped them all mickeys 
during 'Disco Night'

with ball overhead, turned on
to blind the unsuspecting.

'Saturday Night Fever' filled the room
as last autopsy for the evening
got under way.

Air freshener goody bag dispersed-

cavity filled with potpourri prepared
from an assortment of freeze dried 
            
             lemons and limes.

    Powerful write, Sis. Seemed quite creepy. It reminds me of medical horror stories that people hear about happening, like procedures going wrong and the patients having to pay for the doctor's mistakes in the worst possible way. I have heard of so many stories of people going to plastic surgeons or some people going to people posing as plastic surgeons and they regret it afterwards. Keep that pen flowing.
