Tick tock, tick tock,
Went the big red clock.
Tick tock, tick tock,
Went her heels on the dock.
Hush now, everyone,
Mistress Murder’s on the run,
Careful there, little ones,
If she sees you then you’re done.
Mistress Murder, eyes so red,
A thousand deaths upon her head.
On their souls she surely fed,
Bodies filled with bullets of lead.
They locked her up and sealed her tight,
But then she vanished in the night,
Leaving guards there dead of fright,
Mistress Murder’s out, alright!
Now Mistress Murder’s left the town,
But surely she’ll be back around.
Tonight though we will sleep so sound,
We’ve run her out, she’s gone to ground!
I sure hope your saving all these poems you write. They are just wonderful.

Just what i needed after a very late shift at work – a poem that truly made me smile!!
