“Bessie”

Missing image
I was on the stage, performing
as a member of the band.
The crowd enjoyed our music
and were dancing hand in hand.

I guess you heard of ‘Groupies’
and yes, we had a few,
but there is a ‘Horror  Story’
that I must confess to you.

The band was on a break
and I was sitting at the bar,
when an ‘Ugly Lady’ hugged me
who was smoking a cigar!

She was dressed in many colors
and her breath was really gross;
She, most likely, had the ‘Crabs’
and that is what I feared the most!

Many people there, were watching
and their laughter had begun
when she wrapped her arms around me
and no place for me to run!

She told me that she 'Loved' me
and ‘Good Grief’, I really trembled!
When she flashed her  ‘Winning Smile’,
a ‘Jack O Lantern’, she resembled!

She said her name was ‘Bessie’
and she wished she was my 'Wife'!
I almost ‘Crapped my Pants’
and I was ‘Fearing for my  Life’!

At last, the club was closing
and soon, I would  go home,
but little did I know
that I wouldn’t be alone!

I took an ‘Alka Seltzer’,
then, I drove home in my car.
‘Bessie’s’ on my door step
still smoking her cigar!

I laid a ‘Patch of Rubber’
as I quickly sped away
to find some place to hide
and to live another day!

I telephoned the cops
to say my life’s a ‘Living Hell’!
"There’s a ‘Nut Job’ on my door step
who needs a Padded Cell!"

As they put her in the cop car,
she threw ‘Kisses’ in the air.
I went inside; I Locked My Door,
then, Changed my Underwear!




Author notes



This is basically a "True Story" that actually happened to me!
(everything but the cigar!)

    Liked the rhythm, rhyme and flow of this funny poem. Not funny to the person being stalked by this mad woman, but funny to read about afterwards. What a picture - sure looks like a crazy broad to me too.
