Murder one....Thank God!



......And so I
butchered boredom,
I slit its pale throat,
and watched it bleed,
the colors and the bubbles
already alleviating
its curse.

It had dogged me
far too long,
thinking that
sheer apathy
would prevent me
from shaking free
of its clasp.

Oh, it fought me,
with bland cliches,
and some lame excuse
on how the world needed it,
but I unsheathed my pen,
its fountain tip sharp,
and severed it's
sing-song jugular.
At last I had
conquered dead space.
with a Pilot pen.

Then I turned
with a yawn,
and wrote you
this poem.

    This is just sheer class.. killed it with every stroke by the looks of it, and what a pic to go with it too,,the look on that wee face as if to say, ''you want me to smile with this hat on, sitting in a wet nappy, i'm bored and want my toys, not sit here posing, now get me my colouring pens'' absolute class... Thank you.

    Well, to tell you what I think... I think the poem is brilliant! The personification of boredom is tremendously accurrate... because it does feel like someone, climbing over your shoulders... drilling you to the floor...

    And don't let anyone tell you otherwise: boredom deserved to die.
